0623: Good morning and welcome to day 31 of the torch relay.
Today the flame is travelling from Middlesbrough, through the Victorian coastal resorts of Redcar and Saltburn to Whitby, and on to Hull.
Your writers for the day are Jane Mower and Martin Gough and we will bring you the highlights of the journey.
0626: Standing at the top of Middlesbrough's landmark Transporter Bridge is first torchbearer of the day - James Coupland.
James, 17, is described as an "ambassador for school sport" at Oakfields School having competed for the football, athletics, cross country and indoor rowing teams. He also helps out with sport at several local primary schools.
The 225ft (69m) high bridge - a symbol of the area's industrial heritage - is celebrating its 100th birthday.
0630: James stands in the middle of the gondola as the crowds who have gathered for the early start give him a cheer.
And he's off and running to a shout of "Well done".
0635: Karl Morgan is our second runner of the day as the flame moves through the streets of Middlesbrough.
Coming up soon this morning is Redcar, Saltburn and Brotton.

If you want to track the torch's progress today - or any live day of the relay - have a look at our map on the left-hand side. The flashing red dot indicates where the torch is on its journey. The list of places below the map tells you when it is due to arrive in each location - and the red arrow pinpoints the next location.
0642: First road convoy of the day and we're headed to Redcar.
0651: One for all you steam railway enthusiasts. Later the flame will be transported on locomotive Sir Nigel Gresley, which holds the world record for being the fastest steam engine since World War II, achieving a speed of 112mph in 1959.
Kelly Williams will be the person who gets to carry the flame on the North York Moors Railway from Whitby to Pickering.
0653: We've arrived in Redcar - the first of many Victorian resorts we will visit today.
0654: The first torchbearer out of the coach is Steve Hall who, with his wife Barbara, has been a vital part of Redcar Gymnastics Club. The club has been responsible for producing several top gymnasts.
A small crowd gives a big cheer as he sets off walking - he has a bad back so can't run.
0656: Much bigger crowds as the flame makes its way past Locke Park and Steve gives them all a wave.
0701: Steve hands over to 16-year-old Fergus Roberts, a former Under-13 boys champion in the English National Championships who still competes in cross country running, is also a talented cyclist and is a sports volunteer, helping others to enjoy sport.
0703: BBC Tees' Mark Drury is on board the torch media vehicle this morning. Passing through Redcar he says: "06:55 on a Monday morning, and we've had a good turn out. It's magnetic this torch, it's bringing all the people out".
0706: Among the sporting names for the day is Great Britain rower Tom Ransley, 26, who will be carrying the flame in Pickering. Ransley was part of the crew that won silver at the 2010 World Championships.
0709: In Redcar it's a pleasant 18C and the sun is trying to poke through the clouds which seems to have drawn out an early crowd.

0712: Terence Wilcox passes over to Nicola Sylvester, who has a chance to get some extra practice in for the Great North Run, which she will be competing in to raise money for the National Autustic society. Nicola says she has been overweight for 10 years before taking up running six months ago. Her son has epilepsy diabetes and autism.
0717: Now sporting a bouncy jog and smiling into the camera is TV reporter David Butorac, who in 2006 was named in the Advance Australia list of the 100 most influential Australian's living outside Australia.
Neil Mutch tweets: "Olympictorch on Redcar seafront. Good crowds and real celebration feel here."
0719: Lucy Kettleborough, who raises money for the baby's hospice Zoe's Place, takes over the flame, heading onto Coast Road in Redcar.
0724: And the crowd goes wild for Sharon Gayter who runs in circles as she takes the torch.
She is one of Britain's top ultra runners - sporting events that involve running more than the traditional marathon distance. The 48-year-old has been a commonwealth 24-hour champion.
0729: Observing Sharon's stint BBC Tees' Mark Drury says: "The sea to her left, playground to her right, on the coast road, running past The Stray café where all the staff are stood outside on chairs filming her on their phones. Sharon has gone freestyle, she's weaving around, and she's out-run the escorts. She's had to double back on herself to give them a chance to keep up."
0733: A lovely view out over the headland as we depart Redcar for the short journey to Marske-by-the-Sea.
0736: A big cheer goes up for Casey Jackson, a 12-year-old local athlete and dancer who is setting a fair pace through the village.
0740: Hani Macki is a long way from his home of Muskat in Oman but will feel an affinity with this seaside community. His determination to preserve Oman's maritime history saw him to launch the Environment Society of Oman.
There's a fairly respectable crowd out here to watch him pass.
0743: Screams as Martin Dauber from Darlington takes over. Martin has for the last four years coached his local under-13 football team and took part in the Great North Run to raise money for a local cancer charity.
0746: The flame is popped into the lantern and we're on to Saltburn.
The traffic is backed up to make way for the flame's arrival and the sun is shining.
0750: The first runner in Saltburn is John Pearson, who runs a local project called Doorways, where young people can get help with housing or making up CVs.
Saltburn was apparently the centre of local sea smugglers with its cliffs providing an effective hiding place and the wooded coves providing cover for offloading cargo.
0755: Now on to a very enthusiastic Gerry McBride, who leads community rides as part of British Cycling's Skyride initiative and is a driving force behind new family cycling club the Tees Valley Riders.
0759: When not running with the torch, Shaun Campbell runs a campaign to honour Arthur Wharton, the world's first black professional footballer. He uses Wharton's story to inspire young people and educate them about racism.
Joanna Sigsworth tweets: "Glued to @BBC2012 #bbctorchcam. My hometown @SaltburnbySea is looking gorgeous & sunny."
0805: Robert Swift, a resident of Dubai, carries the torch down Saltburn Road and there is an enthusiastic greeting from a large group as he reaches the seafront. We are back on the road now for the two-mile trip to Brotton.
0811: Travelling through lush green countryside, Cleveland is certainly putting on a show for the torch.
0814: Enjoying his moment, and a down-hill stretch, is Ryan Metcalfe, 25, who was nominated to carry the torch because of his work with people with disabilities. He has been training to be a learning disabilities nurse.
0816: A high-five as Martin Deacy, 55, a runner and cyclist from Middlesbrough, takes over. He was nominated by one of his children, who said "He loves meeting new people and making an impact on their lives". There is a large crowd here to see him take the flame and he is enjoying himself, running at a slight jog and waving to everyone.
0822: A short hop to Carlin How where Doug Welsh, 65, takes up the baton. Doug retired last year after 23 years as head of a local primary. He's a marathon runner and used to organise school cross country events and coaches a multitude of other sports.
Sophie Nicholls tweets: "Watching @BBC2012 #bbctorchcam before setting off to see my dad, Roger, carry the flame in Scarborough. So exciting!"
0832: Another short road journey, this time we're headed to Loftus.
0835: Boxing coach Frankie Wales is the first torchbearer in Loftus. He set up Redcar Boxing Club, which includes a women's boxing club, and has since driven the setting up of the Redcar Development Trust which has taken over empty shops and a pub to help people start up new businesses.
0839: The latest man with the flame, Nicholas Halpern, sports some natty yellow trainers and waves non-stop to a mass of youngsters with flags on the roads of Loftus.
0841: David State, who has been nominated because of his work with the Scout movement and in charity fundraising, takes the torch. There are lots of chants of "David, David" as he finishes jogging up a hill and passes the torch to a minder.
David's girlfriend is waiting at the roadside. He goes down on one knee and it looks like he has successfully proposed! They share a hug and a kiss then David says, "I've got to go", takes back the torch and jogs off down the road.
His now fiancee shares a few hugs and tears with her friends as David runs off.
0847: Charlie Graham, a 19-year-old who has been coaching the local football team for four years, is the next runner. Not sure quite how he can top the torch relay's first roadside proposal!
0851: We're back in convoy now for the 10-minute drive to Hinderwell.
It looks like we have momentarily lost pictures because of the 3G signal.
Want to find out how close the torch will come to your frontdoor during the 70 days of the relay? You can do this by entering either your postcode or name of your town or city in the search box below this live text. Hitting the search button will bring up a list of days when the relay will be close by.
0911: The torch has passed through Hinderwell, where the bearers were scheduled to be 13-year-old Simran Vedvyas and Walter Southall, who comes from Hemlington near Middlesbrough. Next stop Lythe.
0912: Looks like the convoy had arrived in Lythe but the picture has gone again.
0915: The flame is due in the seaside town of Whitby in the next half-an-hour. Twenty miles up the coast from Scarborough, the town is a fishing port that because a tourist destination when the railway arrived in the mid 19th Century. The ruins of St Hilda's Abbey on the East Cliff, dominates the skyline and the nearby churchyard of the parish church of St Mary inspired Bram Stoker to write his famous book, Dracula.
0917: BBC Radio York's Jonathan Cowap says Pickering is getting busier and busier ahead of its arrival there. Banners have started going up and bunting has been put up outside people's homes.
0918: We've got pictures back and Rachel McKay has the torch. She's got a quiet stretch, so quiet I can hear the birds singing.
0923: Andrew Viney is being cheered on by the torch security team and a solitary runner on the footpath to his left.
0930: Marc Thompson Silva passes over to Abdulkareem Alsofi, who gets to be the torchbearer on the seafront in Sandsend - a very picturesque spot.
0935: We're back on the bus and the sun is out for the five-minute trip down the coast road to Whitby.
0939: A large crowd is waiting on Upgang Lane in Whitby and Sohail Mohammed, a barrister from Newcastle who supports cancer charities, is the first runner.
"Give us a wave, you misery!" says a lady on the pavement and Sohail obliges.
Prepare to see a "pirate salute" as the torch goes through Whitby.
If you want to watch David State's roadside proposal again, just rewind to 0842 on the video. Lovely scene.
0947: Our next torchbearer, Shane Hassall, comes from Billingham, just north of Middlesbrough where the torch began today's journey. The 24-year-old has type 1 diabetes but this doesn't stop him from being a successful swimmer.
0948: Dave Hepple, who was one of the first people to carry the torch through North Yorkshire in Lythe, said he was still "trembling" from the experience.
He said: "It was absolutely brilliant. I'm still trembling now."
0953: Soon the flame will be going on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway but we won't be able to bring you pictures of this journey as torchcam can't go on the train.
0954: Kelly Williams is a PE teacher who has made several trips to Zambia to coach underprivileged children in sport and HIV awareness. She will carry the torch on to the train in Whitby and is scheduled to emerge with it in Pickering at 11:34.
0957: We've lost the pictures but the flame should be getting ready for its journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, on board steam locomotive Sir Nigel Gresley.
This steam locomotive holds the world record for being the fastest steam engine since World War II, achieving a speed of 112mph in 1959.
1002: One of the stations along the route is in Goathland, a village that doubles as Aidensfield in TV series Heartbeat and also Hogsmeade, the village near Harry Potter's School Hogwarts. To the untrained trainspotter, Sir Nigel Gresley, looks a lot like the Hogwarts Express too.
1005: The flame has been taken on board the train and our pictures will follow the bus convoy as it travels to meet the train in Pickering in an hour and a half's time.
Two hundred and twenty pupils from local schools are among those on board the locomotive as it makes its way through the heart of the national park.
Sandra McNicoll from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway said: "The torchbearer will go up and down the train showing everyone on the train the torch."
1011: The convoy is travelling through the scenic North York Moors National Park as it heads to the market town of Pickering.
1031: The 3G signal must be weak as the convoy heads across the moors but we will try and get the pictures back for you asap.
1033: Vanessa Buckle has spoken to BBC Radio York reporter Jules Bellerby ahead of carrying the torch in Pickering. She described the honour as "totally humbling".
"The sun is shining and it's brilliant and it's my home town, it's so special. The amount of people here is phenomenal," she said.
Gary Verity has tweeted this pic from the train on its way to Pickering.
1036: Pictures have returned and the vehicle convoy has arrived in Pickering. They are heading to the station car park where they will have a bit of a wait for the train to arrive.
Gary Verity has tweeted this pic from the train on its way to Pickering.
1039: BBC Radio York reporter Kat Harbourne said hundreds of people waved and clapped as the train left Whitby.
A reminder that coverage of the torch relay is available on the BBC Red Button this afternoon from 14:00 until 19:00.
1044: Speaking to BBC Radio York from on board the train, Philip Benham, general manager of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, said: "It's absolutely splendid. It's a very special event."
BBC Look North's Harry Gration tweeted: "Lovely atmosphere here in Scarborough. Looks like big turn out."
Vanessa Buckle is waiting for the train to arrive in Pickering and the 44-year-old certainly won't struggle with this short relay leg as last year she ran 10 marathons in 10 days.
Despite suffering blisters from day one and knee problems from the fifth day, she completed the 10th marathon in four-and-a-half hours, raising money for Brathay Trust, a charity that works with the most disadvantaged young people.
1130: The train is scheduled to arrive in Pickering very shortly. The town's mayor, William Oxley, said: "For Pickering it's just a chance to be part of history. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people to be part of the biggest international sporting event in the world. The town is really up for it."
1134: We won't get pictures of the train's arrival, with torchbearer Kelly Williams on the footplate but the cameras are now with the crowds waiting outside Pickering Station.
1140: Here comes Max Strachan now.
1141: Twenty-year-old Max Strachan starts running, to a round of applause. He was nominated to carry the torch by his father John, having overcome severe epilepsy and Asperger's Syndrome to excel academically and at sport.
"Max spent last summer in the Himalayas, where he trekked, mountaineered and spent a fortnight helping to build a school in rural India," said his father.
Pickering is packed, with the crowds three and four deep by the road. There are cheers, whistles, drumming and the sound of a klaxon.
1142: Vanessa Buckle, who was pictured earlier as she waited for the train, gets a short leg through the town centre.
If you haven't been with us all morning, remember you can watch earlier video by rewinding through the live stream, or you could have a look at our photo gallery, which includes that roadside proposal.
1144: Yesterday Tom Ransley competed for the Great Britain rowing team in their final major event before the Olympic regatta. Tom - who comes from Kent but was at university in York - is in the GB men's eight, who have been tipped to win one of the six medals the team have targetted at the Games. He has dashed back from the World Cup event in Munich, where the eight finished third, to take part in the relay and will shortly be heading off to altitude training in Silvretta in the Austrian Alps.
1146: PE teacher Kelly Williams carried the torch on the locomotive Sir Nigel Gresley, which holds the world record for being the fastest steam engine since World War II, achieving a speed of 112mph in 1959.
They travelled on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Whitby to Pickering.
1148: Tom passes the flame to Alison Bates, who is partially sighted and is involved in a local charity supporting those with sight impairment - Sight Support Ryedale - as a member, a volunteer in the resource centre and a trustee.
Alison and her guide dog are receiving rapturous support from the sides of the road, especially from a large group of schoolchildren waving green flags.
1152: Alison's dog, a golden retriever, is a little distracted by the crowds so a member of the security team is sticking close by as they walk down Thornton Road.
1157: Unfortunately we have lost pictures momentarily but you're not missing torchbearing. The flame is now scheduled to go back into convoy for a half-hour drive south to Scarborough.
1210: Dark clouds are gathering as the convoy makes its way south down the A170. Meanwhile, producer Lewis Miles tweeted a pic of some of the BBC team in action.
1218: Our next destination, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast, with a population of over 50,000. It features the ruins of an 11th Century castle and two bays - the north and south - linked by Marine Drive, a Victorian promenade around the headland.
1230: The torch is back on the streets in Scarborough and there is another torchbearer here who should have no problem with the torch, as he has thousands of miles under their running belt. Athletics coach Darran Bilton is so successful at the London Marathon - we're told he has won his age-group classification a record five times.
His wife says he "embodies every element of the Olympic ethos; fair play, cultural understanding and personal excellence".
He's represented GB in the marathon and coached all standards and ages of runners.
1235: Darran carries the torch down to the seafront at the North Bay, onto a track by the beach. He hands on to Jacquie McKenzie, who parades in front of some brightly painted beach huts, with the sands to her right.
Brian MacElwee said on Facebook: "I've been waiting to see a proposal happen on the relay. For the Vancouver Games 2 years ago, we had about 4 or 5 proposals happen on the relay. I was wondering when we'd see our first and now we have."
1238: There is a shout of "Go Jamie!" as the torch is passed to Jamie Green, the children's patron at young people's mobility charity Whizz-Kidz, representing the interests of young disabled people. Jamie, a wheelchair user, heads off to a round of applause as the security team move people from his path.
There is quite an incline to the track here and one of the security team pushes his chair so he can wave to the crowd.
1243: It's time for lunch, at Scarborough Open Air Theatre. We are due to kick off again at about 1330.
If you're out watching the torch relay why don't you send us your pictures or let us know what's going on. Tweet us at @BBC2012 and visit our Facebook page.
Janine tweets: "Looking forward to the torch relay coming to Beverley later today. The sun is shining here ready!!"
1328: We're back up and running and we had a fleeting view of the open air theatre.
The afternoon session begins with 12-year-old Ben Chapman carrying the torch. Ben has been described by members of staff as an inspiration to other students at Hull Trinity House School, despite difficulties created by an unsettling domestic situation.
1331: The theatre seats are packed with people watching a street dance show and the first torchbearer is poised for his moment in the spotlight. And off he goes.
1335: Now carrying the torch is Matt Lloyd who competed in sledge hockey - an adapted version of ice hockey - for Great Britain at the Paralympic Winter Games in Turin in 2006, and has also represented GB in sitting volleyball at European level.
He is currently chairman of the British Sledge Hockey Association, and is eager to ensure that GB has a team at the Paralympics in Sochi in 2014.
1341: Big cheers for Stephen Roberts who is running with torch along the seafront.
1345: Just a reminder that if you want to watch the flame's journey on your TV, coverage of the torch relay starts on the BBC Red Button at 14:00 until 19:00.
1355: And with glorious views of the East Yorkshire coast, Jane and Martin are on their way to be replaced by Claire Heald and Ian Westbrook as your text commentators for the rest of the day.
1400: There was a huge turnout at Scarborough Open Air Theatre, as you can see in this picture sent to us by Ian Smith:
1408: Faisal Alqahtani is our current torchbearer in Scarborough - he was chosen by one of the sponsors. The relay will be leaving the town soon and moving on to Filey, Bridlington, Beverley and finally Hull, where tonight's evening celebration takes place.
1410: Bit of news if you were thinking of going to Tuesday's night's evening celebration in York - if you haven't got a ticket then I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed. City Of York Council has said all 26,000 tickets to the free event at York Racecourse have been snapped up.
1412: BBC Radio York's Kat Harbourne describes the atmosphere in Sandside, Scarborough: "A lot of people are carrying blown-up Olympic torches and union flags. People are leaning out of windows and balconies to get a glimpse of the torch."
1417: So that's it for Scarborough - now it's a 10-minute hop to Filey.
1425: Our next stop Filey is described on the town's tourist information website as a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering restful 'get away from it all' holidays. Maybe it's the sort of place the BBC 2012 team should visit after 70 days of live relay coverage!
1431: Into Filey now where our first torchbearer is 23-year-old Matthew Woolias from Hull. He was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2009 while at university. He had his leg amputated to speed his recovery and has gone on to organise charity football matches and has raised £17,000 for charity, an amazing achievement considering the little amount of time since his recovery.
Matt has completed his third year at university now and has also finished his exams and will be graduating with a higher (2:1) degree.
Joining Claire and I on live text for a while is Douglas Willoughby.
1434: It's time for another P.E. teacher today. Rob Reid is described as "an extremely dedicated teacher" at St. Charles RC Primary, Hull
He's also a keen runner, and running organiser - chairman of Beverley Athletics Club, the Humber Road Running Group as well as an athletics coach.
His nomination says: "Rob always gives 100% to everything he takes on, and is prepared to go the extra mile to give opportunities to all our children. It would be so exciting for the pupils at our school to see their PE teacher carrying the Olympic Torch as a reward for his selfless dedication to sport."
1437: Lovely quote from Christine Langham who, in case you missed it earlier, was proposed to by torchbearer David State during his run with the torch in Loftus, Teesside earlier today.
Christine, who is eight months pregnant, said: "I nearly had my baby there and then."
1440: Another public service announcement for you (see earlier one at 1410). Get there early if you are attending tonight's evening celebration event in Hull's West Park and want a good spot as BBC Radio Humberside reporter Adam Hunt says organisers expect more than 30,000 people to attend.
1446: BBC Look North reporter Phil Bodmer, who is travelling with the Olympic Torch relay as it makes its way through Yorkshire, said of the scenes in Filey: "People have turned out in their thousands. It's incredible and truly stunning."
1448: So with the relay only around five minutes behind schedule, we are off on the road once again - this time for a 15-minute journey to Bridlington.
The BBC's Simon Spark tweets: "Waiting for the torch in Bridlington. Great turn out. Really exciting #BBCtorchrelay
1458: Just caught a glimpse of sculptures on the last roundabout - fleeting sight of what we thought was a shepherd and sheep. Quick research tells us it was the Dotterel Shepherd, who is the creation of Bridlington-based artist Ronald Falck as a thought provoking reminder of the area's rural heritage.
The fibre-glass sculpture stands proud on the Dotterel roundabout at the top of the new Reighton bypass and has a commanding view over miles of open countryside.
People on one of the busiest stretches of coastal road can enjoy a shepherd and his dog battling the elements as he guards his flock of five sheep and, the single lamb which he is holding protectively under his arm.
Mr Falck said: "Viewed from a distance, as an aesthetic, the Dotterel Shepherd was intended to be a powerful and a distinctive silhouette against some magnificent skies."
1501: Crowds in Bridlington are growing as we can see in this picture taken by BBC Look North reporter Emma Massey:
1505: The relay has caught up those few minutes it was running late as we arrive into Bridlington.
No between-meals snacking planned along the route here for our first torchbearer Dr Badr Al Shibani, who promotes healthy living. He has set up not-for-profit fitness centres and works to combat diabetes and obesity.
Before he sets off a man who we believe to be the town crier, in full blue ceremonial garb, stands alongside him for a photo.
1508: Bridlington is home to arguably Britain's greatest living artist - David Hockney - famous from his bright 1960s Californian swimming pool paintings through his portraits to his more recent Yorkshire landscapes, which use vivid purples, greens and yellows.
In the Spring of this Olympic year, he had a major exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art in London's Piccadilly called A Bigger Picture, featuring landscapes, including his tablet-created drawings.
1514: On to Gareth Thomas, a training officer for Wetherby Air Cadets. And also a coach to young people who have had difficult times.
Meanwhile one lady in Bridlington told BBC Radio Humberside's reporter Gemma Dillon that watching the torch pass through was "emotional". She added: "I'm never going to see anything like that again in my lifetime."
1517: This should be a fun run in the sun for Neil Sergeant, coach for the junior section of Beverley AC.
His nomination says he "has consistently supported and motivated the children in the club to be disciplined athletes and good citizens and has given a tremendous amount to the club and the wider community without ever being formally recognised for his efforts".
Hopefully some of the young runners have turned out among these big crowds, which are standing four or five deep, to support him today.
1520: Torchbearer number 82 today is maths student Sophie McMullen, who is on her school council and helps in the speech therapy department.
Sophie has severe athetoid cerebral palsy. Her nomination says: "She has shown herself to be determined to always do her best in everything she does, to rise to the many challenges life throws at her and to make a real contribution to the life of everyone she meets.
"Sophie might not be able to run the 100 metres but in the marathon of life she is a winner and a wonderful example to able-bodied people. Everyone who knows her would say she shines constantly, but she also deserves a moment to shine in the public eye as she moves from school to her adult life."
1528: After Bridlington, the next stop for the torch is Beverley. Jane, from Cottingham, messages us: "Watching Bridlington on the Red Button. All set to see Beverley and my old school. Whoop, whoop."
1530: The sun is out and the Met Police torch security team have their matching shades on.
Here at torchcam HQ we're a little worried that they are not wearing any hats, to protect them from the heat.
And is the look a bit Reservoir Dogs meets P.E. kit?
1535: Sophie's time with the torch comes to an end and the flame returns to the lantern for a long stay. We now have a half-hour drive to Beverley, where the relay will take a 20-minute R&R break before a short journey into the centre of the town.
1539: Don't forget that as well as watching as watching the relay on the website this afternoon, you can also watch on the BBC Red Button until 19:00 BST.
1550: BBC Radio York journalist Jenny Eells has shared her thoughts on covering the arrival of the Olympic torch in North Yorkshire earlier. "I will say in all my days of reporting nothing comes close to the Olympic torch relay. Astonishing, emotional and utterly breathtaking," she said.
Meanwhile with less than an hour to go, people are starting to line the streets in Beverley for the arrival of the torch:
1557: Margaret Riley has tweeted us this picture of the Malton family in Filey proudly flying their 1953 flag as they watch the relay:
1602: Away from the torch relay, Doctor Who actor Matt Smith has revealed he does not have a ticket to watch the Olympic rowing - after getting a taste for the sport as a result of playing the part of rower Bert Bushnell in the forthcoming BBC TV drama 'Bert and Dickie'.
The one-off 90-minute show, which airs in mid to late July, tells the true story of how Bushnell, along with Richard Burnell, who is played by Sam Hoare, won double sculls gold at the so-called "austerity Games" in 1948.
Smith said a crash course with elite rowers for the film had left him with a taste for the sport.
"Me and Sam would love to go to the rowing but the guys we were training with who were in the Olympics said they only get one ticket each for their families," he explained, before going on to joke: "If anyone's listening, if there's any opportunity!"
1607: Just to remind you that the relay is currently taking a short break on the outskirts of Beverley before returning to convoy mode for a short journey into the town.
That makes it a good time to remind you that you can tweet us your views at @BBC2012 or visit our BBC London 2012 Facebook page to let us know your experiences out watching the relay, or your views on what you have seen via #bbctorchcam.
1611: Homemade torches at the ready in Beverley as we see in this tweeted photo from Alison Almond:
1622: Into the packed streets of Beverley in the sunshine and first with the torch is sports-mad Clare Hutchinson. She's run marathons in several different countries and works extremely hard to achieve a personal best each time she runs.
Clare is a primary school teacher and for 16 years she has used her position to bring sport to as many children as she can while she has spent her last two summer holidays in Kenya working on projects for BBC Sport Relief.
1626: Now we have former Olympian and judo player Karen Inman - who will be better known by her single name of Briggs. She reached the semi-finals at the Barcelona Games in 1992 and has four World Championship and one Commonwealth Games (1990) gold medals to her credit.
1632: The torch has temporarily disappeared from sight - presumably for a quick sponsor moment although there are no details in my notes.
In the meantime we can hear the bells of St Mary's Church in the background.
1635: We missed Michael Nicholson who is a driving force in his local athletics community. He has inspired many people for over 40 years to take up sport and doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.
Now however we have Haydn Pitchforth, who is a regular fundraiser for brain tumour charities Andrea's Gift and Hammer Out. The main reason for taking on the fundraising is because his friend was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1994. He walked the three national peaks and raised £50,000 for charity.
He is going at a furious pace which allows him the time to stop and get a hug and a kiss from a member of the crowd during his run.
1642: Sharing her love of acting, our next torchbearer Lindsey Chapman inspires and engages disadvantaged children using creativity to support them in realising their potential. She says she wants to help the wider community achieve their goals whilst encouraging others to get involved.
1649: It's getting very busy on Twitter at the moment.
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, has tweeted that there are some 12,000 people in Beverley.
While BBC Radio Humberside reporter Gemma Dillon has tweeted this picture of Cerys, Richard and Nathan, who are preparing to welcome the torch to Hull:
Meanwhile torchbearer Karen Inmam (nee Briggs) (see 1626 entry) told the BBC that she was "overwhelmed" by the response she received in Beverley.
1652: Now back on the road again for the 10-minute ride to Hull.
Have you ever wondered why the people of Hull are called 'Hullensians'? Author Terry Deary, the man behind "Horrible Histories", explains all in this video and also tells you how highwayman Dick Turpin was arrested in Hull for a rather unexpected crime...
1659: The convoy is just passing Dunswell where a big caravan company, a huge local employer, is based.
1702: Into Hull and here comes Sam Neale, a mountain-climbing fundraiser and charity cycle-ride organiser.
1702: Katie Spitfire has tweeted us a couple of great pictures from the torch's time in Beverley. Clearly, as you can see from the first picture, it didn't excite everyone in the crowd:
1704: Two people running with the torch now - as pregnant Elham Al Qasimi takes up the flame.
Her nomination says she was the first Arab woman to set foot on the North Pole, in a journey in April 2012 with no food drops, no re-supplies and no visits to towns or settlements.
1707: Rachael Duff was such a popular choice that 12 people wanted to nominate her to run with the torch.
She's a GP practice manager and an administrator in a hospital described as "an excellent manager and a wonderful colleague and friend... cheerful, supremely organised. "At night, however, Rach puts on her trainers and raises money for charity," it says.
She will run 20 races, including five marathons, in the year before the Games, aiming to raise £20,000 for six charities and welcome anyone who wants to run with her.
Halfway through her run, Rachael turns in circles on the spot a few times before continuing.
Reading rooms in Hull set to empty if this tweet from Hull Libraries is spotted: "The torch is nearly here guys! Are you looking out the window, lining the streets or having to watch on @bbc2012 ..."
1716: Will he pass it? Will he tackle the security team? Ron England is a rugby league-lover and a retired PE teacher who worked at Knottingley High for 25 years.
He is Yorkshire Schools rugby league secretary and has recently researched and written a book about the history of rugby league in Yorkshire schools.
1719: A big smile from Kevin Grantham, whose nomination says he saved four children's lives aged 14, when he went into a house fire and dragged them out.
His brother's death from a heroin overdose two years later inspired him to volunteer in local regeneration.
Halfway through Kevin's run, a spectator holding a fairly full pint glass blatantly stands in his way before being moved across by a torch security team member in the nick of time.
Happy Birthday to Mikee Pickles who will celebrate in grand style as he tweets: "Off to watch torch relay in min day 31 my 31st birthday."
1724: As Jalal Bin Thaneya takes his turn, some spectators wave giant banners with long white threads, similar to the ones you get at festivals. Also spotted some giant inflatable models on the side of the road.
1726: Running next is Claire Stockton, mum to Finley, who set up charity The Echoes Foundation in 2008 with the aim of one day being opening a dedicated therapy centre for families with disabled children.
Because she and her husband found it difficult to obtain support for them and her son, she was inspired to open a centre providing a sensory room, alternative therapy room, parental support room and music therapy room, plus a mobile sensory equipment loan project. It supports more than 150 families.
Claire works at a hospital 20 hours a week and cares for Finley.
1730: Young Reece Wysthoff, 14 takes up the torch, nominated by one of his parents for caring for them and his disabled brother, who needs 24-hour-a-day help and monitoring.
They said: "I have nominated my son as I feel that giving him a moment to shine would be my way of giving him something back.
"Reece does not get much time for himself between going to school and helping to look after me and his brother and I know he has a love of sport and to be able to be considered for a torchbearer would mean the absolute world to him."
1736: Don't forget that as well as watching the relay on this website, you can also watch this afternoon's session on the BBC Red Button service.
1746: The late afternoon sunshine continues to greet torchbearers and spectators in Hull, which used to be the largest English city never to have hosted top flight football until the Tigers were promoted to the Premier League in 2008.
1754: He's not on his favourite surface here, but the torchbearing should still be a thrill for British National Water Ski Champion Will Oliver.
He overcame arthritis to succeed in the sport, has captained his university waterski team and tutors and encourages others.
Will raises both arms aloft, smiles and sets off on his run, waving to the crowds as he goes.
1756: And the Met Police security team get an extra officer here as John Philip a Chief Officer, the highest rank in the Special Constabulary, takes up the torch.
1758: He's raised a lot of money, but the aptly-named Rich Mann has given it all away.
Endurance races, ultra marathons, fell runs, and John O'Groats to Lands End cycles, the school teacher has used some ambitious methods to raise funds for charity.
1805: One of the oldest torchbearers of the relay is going to go for gold here. Margaret 'Jean' Bishop, who is 90 years young, is known in the city as the 'Bee Lady of Hull' as she stands in the shopping centre in her bee outfit collecting for charity.
She gets lots of cheers as she makes her way up the road and at least one cry of "Come on Jean" from a member of the crowd.
Huge support for Margaret (Jean) from people watching on the streets and on #bbctorchcam as Anna Millar tweets: "Great to see the Bee Lady of Hull having her moment of well-deserved glory in the @bbc2012 Olympic Torch Relay in Hull - Margaret you rock."
1810: And as she continues her stint, a cry of "Three cheers for Jean, hip, hip, hooray, hip, hip hooray, hip, hip hooray" rings out from one spectator.
The crowds are suddenly four or five deep and lots of enthusiastic people step out to take photos. Margaret (Jean) could win the prize for most popular torchbearer of the day.
1812: Follow that Linda Barber. She has worked in her community, helping people in crisis and been treated for bladder cancer. Linda was also a PE teacher at Kingston High and Kelvin Hall Schools and working for St Mary's Sports College.
1823: James Smith, now with the torch, helps with his family's charity that supports children's palliative care hospices in South Africa.
He also helps running events for Save the Children and acts as a mentor for local children, his nomination says.
James, wearing thick green sweatbands on each wrist, turns and salutes the crowd on both sides of the road, before setting off.
1830: Next up is Emily Curry, 21, who has a disabled twin sister, who she has supported for her entire life. She volunteers for severan organisations and also runs for her local running club, training five days a week.
She also hopes to use her sports coaching degree to coach disabled children while she also currently has three jobs.
1833: Now it's 12-year-old Thomas Burnett, a keen sportsman who represents his school and football, rugby and cross country, in which he has also run at a regional event.
Several of his schoolfriends are running alongside on the pavement, trying to keep up.
1838: Don't forget there is a regional special programme coming up on the torch tonight.
Olympic Torch Live: East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is on BBC One (East Yorks and Lincs) from 19:00 BST to 19:30.
John Inverdale presents the show from Hull's West Park, site of a celebration event where thousands of people will have the chance to see the Olympic torch. He reports on the torch's arrival in the region, the stories of the local torchbearers and the Olympic hopes of the region's athletes.
You can watch the programme live online here (UK only).
1842: A British Olympic Association torchbearer next - and it's Carl Gibson, who is a biathlete and also a lance corporal in Two Close Support Battalion REME based in Germany.
1844: Over to environmentalist and volunteering-fan Kayleigh Cheetham who spent 10 months at a wildlife rescue centre in Thailand looking after poached and rescued bears and primates.
She says: "Volunteering made me feel like I was doing my part to help the environment. The environment is such a special thing which should be appreciated not forgotten."
1848: Have you tried our new video service yet? While a session is live, you can wind back to any earlier point and rewatch it or watch it for the first time.
1855: It might be hard to picture it at this moment, but Andrew Ellis here once dressed up as Ginger Spice to raise money for Beverley Rugby Union Club. He coaches youngsters, sorts out the sponsorship and arranges matches for the players.
Let's see if he "slams it to the left" or "shakes it to the right". Hold tight!
1907: Alessandro Spegno and Michael Bromby bow to the spectators as their torches kiss. Just two more torchbearers to go after Michael today.
1911: Just heard a conversation via the mike on #bbctorchcam. I think it was a member of the torch security team who was told he had put in a "long shift today". He replied that he was thinking of going "for a 500-mile walk" next year.
1912: Now it's the turn of Janet Nolan, who has been involved in the Special Olympics for more than 20 years.
Her nomination says she works "tirelessly" for disability sport, while looking after her daughter, Mary, who has Down's Syndrome.
1914: Apologies for the fact we have lost pictures. This does happen from time to time when we have problems with the 3G signal.
1917: And the job of being the last torchbearer of the day goes to Amy Hopkin. She will carry the flame into the evening celebration and light the cauldrom.
The 31-year-old, who has Down's Syndrome, travels the world as part of a British gymnastic display team.
Her nomination says her dad has had to make her some special hooks to hang all the medals she has won.
It adds: "She is a credit and inspiration to her family and all the people who know and admire the determined way she decided she was going to do gymnastics."
1926: And that's it for today. Thanks for joining Jane and Martin this morning and Claire and I this afternoon. Live coverage back tomorrow morning, when the relay gets under way in Hull at 19:04 BST.
