0735: Good morning and welcome to day two of the BBC's live coverage of the London 2012 Torch relay. Sunday sees the torch travelling from Plymouth to Exeter. That's just 44 miles as the crow flies, but will take a little longer today as the torch will be wending its way around the southern coast, and most of the distance is being covered by 121 torchbearers.
0737: Those torchbearers are mostly members of the public, young and old, who have been nominated for their achievements, sporting contributions and community work. There's also a smattering of VIPs, Olympians and celebrities - such as local indy band Muse - and the occasional hack. Each of the torchbearers will run with the flame for about 300m before lighting the next bearer's torch in a "kiss". This procedure took on a continental air yesterday as torchbearers greeted each other with a peck on the cheek during their hand-overs. ooh la la.
0739: Today's relay will take in towns including Modbury and Dartmouth, and will see the flame making a poignant return to Torre Abbey, which it visited in 1948 when Torquay was the Olympic sailing venue. The day will finish with an evening celebration at Exeter Cathedral.
0742: If you're heading out to see the torch today, the forecast is good - perhaps not as bright as yesterday with lots of cloud cover, but a mild 17 degrees with a light breeze along the coast. Hopefully the rain will stay away. You can keep up with the latest weather conditions, travel and local information from this page. Check out the map and details below - hover the mouse over the place you want to visit and a box will pop up with the info you need.
Martyn Norsworthy in South Devon tweets: Getting ready to welcome the olympic Torch to Kingsbridge! Shops look great all decorated! A few who couldn't be bothered!
0748: Steering you through the early part of today's proceedings will be Ian Westbrook and Michael Hirst, with Nathan Williams collating your tweets, texts and emails. We'd love to see your pics, too - send them in to yourpics@bbc.co.uk or text 61124 (UK only). You can also tweet us at @BBC2012 or visit our Facebook page at BBC London 2012.
Gill Steer in Torquay, Devon tweets: So excited the Olympic torch goes past r road in Torquay off 2 the sea front 2 watch it run the gauntlet. once in a lifetime experience.
0803: The flame has been transferred from its overnight lantern to the torch of the day's first runner, 18-year-old Jordan Anderton from Ivybridge. He's starting out from the Life Centre in Plymouth.Through his experience battling against a rare form of childhood cancer, Jordan realised there were few facilities in Plymouth catering for young cancer victims, so he has spent the past two years fundraising to rectify this, raising tens of thousands of pounds for Cancer Research.
Malcolm Marshall in Brisbane, Australia emails: I don't live in the UK, however I will be watching the relay when I can on the television. I wish everyone who is carrying the torch all the best from Australia.
Here's the first pic of the day from our man Johnny Morris in Plymouth - the day's first torchbearer Jordan Anderton with fans old and young.
0811: "Marvellous scenes in Plymouth," says BBC Spotlight presenter Justin Leigh as Olympic torch heads into city centre. "People are really getting caught up in the excitement of the event."
0815: Fourth torchbearer Matthew Cornish stops halfway through his run to allow two children by the side of the road the chance to hold the torch.
0820: This is 13-year-old Astrid Kovarsky from Paris, one of 20 French runners carrying the torch today. Astrid has always sought to help those around her, especially children who do not have the same opportunities that she does.
0830: Our latest torchbearer is Ian Sherriff, 57, from Devon. He gives a thumbs-up to the crowd - and off he goes.
Ian's breadth of his voluntary work ranges from coach, manager and vice chair of a local junior football team - to being a national board member of the Alzheimer's' Society and Chair of the SW forum for dementia. Previously Ian was a probation volunteer in the armed forces, set up a major sustainable social work programme in Romania and Moldova and was named a Devon Volunteer of the Year. He is also an active member of the blind servicemans` charity St Dunstans - a commitment spanning 30 years.
0833:Maxime Le Guillou now has the honour of running with the torch. The Olympic Games enthusiast was nominated because of the way he helps out in his family - doing homework for his siblings and housework for his parents. The 13-year-old has also visited the Olympic Museum in Lausanne twice.
Janice Westwell on Facebook: "Really excited about taking my children (6yr & 2yr) to see the torch today, watching it on the live cam whilst having breakfast before we set off for Dartmouth, really is a once in a lifetime experience."
0837: BBC's Johnny Morris in Cornwall: "Olympic torches being used in the South West have started appearing on Ebay. One torch being sold in Paignton has a starting bid of £3,500. Bids on another torch - which the seller says was used in the Cornwall leg of the relay on Saturday - stand at £820. But one torch being auctioned in Cheshire has a bid of £100,000."
Neil Monk tweets: "My torch will be treasured and so will my ambassador unifrom."
0840: As Annie Johnson a dedicated sports leader at Plymouth's All Saints Academy, ends her run to huge applause from family friends, now we have Adam Tofield, 24, from Tavistock. He has been head coach for Tavistock Athletic Club juniors for a number of years and was the winner of the UKA south-west junior volunteer of the year award in recognition for all his hard work and successes.
0845:Mark Ormrod, who has just taken the flame to big cheers from the crowd, lost both of his legs and one arm on active service with the Royal Marines in Afghanistan. He works for a charity and still keeps fit, which includes running with his specially made false legs.
Samantha Hatzer, Torbay tweets: CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE OLYMPIC TORCH LATER! #onceinalifetime
0849: For the first time today, the torch goes into convoy mode as the relay leaves Plymouth for the short hop to Brixton.
Thanks to @TeeTeebeauty for tweeting in this crowd shot from Exeter St in Plymouth - not a bad turn-out for early-doors on a Sunday morning!

0858: We have now arrived in Brixton and the first torchbearer here is 12-year-old Elle-Louise Ruth. She is a very talented dancer who has taken part in competitions across the country and also demonstrated good leadership skills in all activities that she tries.
She is making the most of her moment in the spotlight by walking the whole way - and who can blame her!
0905: The population of Brixton is reportedly just over 1,200 people - and from the look of the pictures it would appear that all of them are out on the streets to cheer on their local torchbearers. There is huge enthusiasm for all of the runners who seem to be known by all members of the crowds thronging the streets. Church bells are also ringing and the air is one of huge celebration as Margaret Douglas takes the flame.
0908: Back into convoy mode once again for another short journey - this time to Yealmpton. And news just in from the BBC's Johnny Morris in Devon is that Devon and Cornwall Police say about 55,000 people enjoyed the Olympic torch celebrations in Plymouth last night. No arrests were made.
0913:Chris Baker is the first torchbearer in Yealmpton. The 14-year-old has spent half his life fundraising having started by selling cakes for tsunami victims when he was aged just seven in 2004. Since then he has raised funds for a variety of good causes, including a local hospice and BBC Children in Need, and in total has brought in nearly £1,000.
0915: The village's main claim to fame is being home to the cottage referred to in the nursery rhyme about Old Mother Hubbard. It is made from stone, cob and thatch.
0916: A man holds up a homemade 'Well Done Chris' banner as the teenager hands the flame on to William Hannah. Once again we see similar scenes to yesterday - packed crowds, huge cheering and people stepping out into the road in front of the runner to take photos.
Becky Martin from Yealmpton, meanwhile, says the village is going "ballistic": "The whole village has come out for his. There is bunting everywhere. The atmosphere is brilliant."
Mike Riley tweets: "From Plymouth but on trip to Australia. Have just arrived. Should be in bed after 24 hour journey but loving this on the web."
0922: A member of the torch security team pushes away an over-enthusiastic amateur snapper as she tries to get a close-up of Florine Savaria, at the end of her stint. Florine goes to the coach in the convoy to pass the flame from her torch into a lantern. The convoy sets off, although another car has sneaked in-between the media truck and one of the official cars.
Thanks to Special Olympics Plymouth and District for tweeting in this pic of triple amputee Mark Ormrod (right) taking over the torch from Adam Tofield. A "local hero", says SOPD of the former marine - not just local, we'd say.
0926: On to Modbury we go next. The rest of the day sees the relay visit Kingsbridge, West Charleton, Chillington, Torcross, Stoke Fleming, Dartmouth, Totnes, Paignton, Torquay, Shaldon, Teignmouth and finally Exeter, where there will be an evening celebration.
Sophie Elliott tweets: "All my family waiting in Kingsbridge but I'm at uni in Reading so watching online and am so PROUD!! Can't wait for it to get here."
0933: The runners are back out, this time in Modbury.
"There are thousands in Modbury - people are five deep in the High Street waiting for the arrival of the Olympic torch," says Jo Irving of BBC Radio Devon. "There are people on stilts and in costumes. It's a carnival atmosphere."
0935:Leah Burch takes charge of the flame now. She has been working with schools in Gambia and Plymouth to help the children learn about each other's culture, religion and way of life, having sent a huge container of resources to the African country.
0939: A loud bell rings in the town as Leah goes past - and there is huge cheering and what sounds like beating of drums or clappers from the packed crowds. Leah now lights the lantern and we are in convoy mode once again and this time on the road to Kingsbridge
0940: Thanks for joining us this morning - wherever you are. We've had greetings from across the UK and Oz so far - a quick shout out to Jonney Steven, who tweets from Abu Dhabi: "Sitting at my desk in Abu Dhabi watching the torch pass my home in Devon - #bbctorchcam is a brilliant idea! #torchrelay"
0945: We have currently lost pictures of the relay, which is currently in convoy mode from Modbury to Kingsbridge.
0946: Good news - as you can see we are back again now!
BBC's Johnny Morris in Devon reports: "Police say there are 5-6,000 people waiting for the Olympic torch in Kingsbridge."
Heather Soloman tweets: "Sunday plans cancelled, staying in to watch the torch relay!"
0956:Ruth Godbeer is the first of four torchbearers in Kingsbridge. She was nominated because of the vast amount of time she gives to coaching young people in athletics. Several of her students have represented county, region and country. Ruth has also enouraged women of all abilities to take up running.
"Ruth has one of the luckier routes bearing in mind how hilly Devon is. She has been running downhill all the way," says Justin Leigh of BBC Spotlight in Kingsbridge.
1001:Jerry Gill takes over now. He nursed his wife through a two-year battle against cancer, which she unfortunately lost. Afterwards he raised money in her memory after previously raising funds for a local girl on his postal round who was also suffering from the illness while he has also run the Plymouth Marathon.
1006: Guess what the centre of Kingsbridge, like everywhere else on the route, is filled with enthusiastic people - lots here with Union Jack flags. We now have a hold-up for some reason. The third torchbearer for the town did not seem to appear and Jerry and the torch walked away out of shot - we will keep you posted.
1011:Have just found out that the relay is on a crew break - relay to resume shortly.
1019: We are back with Guillaume Chaigneau, who has for many years run summer camps for disabled children.
1023: The next torchbearer is Pierre Leclercq, who clearly has the Olympics in his blood having been born during the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary.
Meanwhile the BBC's Johnny Morris in Devon reports "Sports coach Ruth Godbeer, 58, ran two legs of the Olympic torch relay in Kingsbridge. She said: "It was absolutely fantastic, I will always remember it."
1027: The lantern is lit, and it is convoy time as we move towards West Charleton.
1031: Nothing is too much trouble for Beth South, 19, from West Charleton who now has the torch, we are told. Her attitude is: "I'm Deaf - so what?" She's been involved in school sport and local community groups. She's also a qualified ski instructor & first aider
1033: Next up is Alison Harris from West Charleton, a long-time girl guide leader and one of only two torchbearers from the village.
1037: That is it for West Charleton - once again the convoy will carry the flame, this time on to Chillington.
1042: Don't forget to get in touch with us today. You may be waiting for the torch to come through your town, you may have seen it pass through your area already or just watching us online.
You can get in touch by e-mail to yourpics@bbc.co.uk by text in the UK to 61124, tweet us at @BBC2012 or visit our Facebook page at BBC London 2012.
1044: We are now in Chillington where 12-year-old Kieran Dyer takes the torch. He was nominated by two of his school teachers for his positive attitude and how he inspires other pupils.
1047: This is Sylviane Gauche, from Saint Renan in France, who we're told has devoted her life to helping children.
1050: It's a good turnout in an overcast Chillington, as locals line the streets waving union jacks and cameras. No doubt the Open Arms will be doing a brisk trade at lunch time. mmm, roast beef....
1052: This is Philip Crook, who we're told devotes a lot of his free time to coaching young boxers at a local club after finishing his day's work as a lorry driver.
1054: We prepare to leave Chillington so once again the flame goes into the lantern and we prepare for convoy mode. Next stop Torcross.
BBC reporter Johnny Morris has sent this photo of Torcross preparing to welcome the arrival of the Olympic flame.
1057: Ian Westbrook now going for a break so Louise Scrivens taking over to work alongside Michael Hirst.
1104: We're back in running mode in Torcross and Adam Smith passes the flame to Charlotte Leadbetter, 38, who has been working with the local Beavers for many years running weekly gatherings and organising an annual camping trip.
1106: The weather is cloudy with a temperature of 15 degrees celsius, so not too chilly if you're heading out to watch the relay - but worth taking a brolly just in case...
1113: And it's back into convoy mode for a quick jaunt up the A379 to Stoke Fleming - a beautiful drive alongside the English channel, which is looking inviting today despite the cloud cover.
1124: As the convoy comes to a rest our man on the ground Johnny Morris says Stoke Fleming school's samba band has been entertaining onlookers with some Sunday samba before the Olympic torch relay passes through the village. First up with the torch is Sharon Atkins - a major fundraiser from Yeovil.
1127: A London 2012 spokesperson has commented on the sale of Olympic torches and uniforms on Ebay and elsewhere. The spokesperson said: "The Torch and uniform are the Torchbearer's to do what they want with, we hope they find a good home."
1136: Next up is Hannah Batterbee who has Batten disease. Her mother says: "My daughter Hannah is truly inspirational. She has Batten disease a terminal illness which has rendered her blind and has started to affect her walking. She raised over £900 and it really was a huge effort. She is a true trooper, always smiling and never asks 'why me' it would be wonderful if she could carry the torch."
Here's a crowd shot from Yealmpton earlier...
Danny O'Neill tweets: Why would anyone want to sell their Olympic torch on Ebay? If I ran with it I'd want to keep it.
1149: The torch reaches Dartmouth where 12-year-old Georgia Lock takes over. The top student is head chorister of her choir, main speaker in the debate team for the rotary club, member of rookies swimming and life saving club. We're told she is also an active participant in all school-based and extra curricular activities.
John Jevans from Devon emails: Absolutely brilliant - thousands of people in Kingsbridge from 08:30 this morning. Great to see people of all ages from young children through teeneagers to senior citizens really enthusiastic and proud.
1155: This is Phill Rudd, 56, from Exeter - one of the BT volunteers who has helped deliver the education programme in Devon which this year has seen an increase in children seen by the group to around 4,500.
1157: The crew from a local fire station have come out to support the relay - two engines are parked facing the convoy as it passes with members of the crew alongside cheering on Phill.
1204: There's a good crowd down by the harbour and the weather's holding out. We're making better time than yesterday too - only running about 10 minutes behind schedule... This is Barrie Goodfellow, 62, from Dartmouth, who was born with sight and hearing problems and is walking with a slightly bemused-looking guide dog Marshall. Barrie was forced to retire in 2002 due to his failing sight and was registered blind - he now holds workshops on painting for blind people.
Rebekah Tennant tweets: "Following the Olympic Torch Relay today on BBC Live stream; Can't wait to see our boys (Muse) run; what a grand event this will be..."
1212: Some lovely shots of the harbour in Dartmouth as Barrie completes his stint with the torch. He has had a warm reception from packed crowds underneath the black and white houses around the waterfront.
1220: And now the last torchbearer of the morning session, Andrew Hibbert, takes over the flame, running up the hill from the harbour past rowing oars held aloft by a local boat club.
1226: Outside Dartmouth Naval College, all the cadets are lined up ready to welcome the torch. Andrew almost runs into a security guard as he undertakes the last of what appears to be a very long 300m, and is greeted by a warm round of applause as he reaches the top.
Andrew poses for a photo with the Devon countryside looking downhill behind him and will shortly transfer the flame into a lantern while everyone stops for lunch.
1227: While the crew take their lunch break, it is all change here. Ian Westbrook returned a while ago and Louise Scrivens is back again while Michael Hirst takes his break.
1228: The relay is set to resume at 1307 - so while there is a break allow us to introduce you to the features of the site, if this is your first visit.
