0700: Welcome. It's day 32 of the Olympic torch relay and today we are starting out at Hull's aquarium The Deep.
Your live text writers for the morning session are Jane Mower and Ian Hughes and we will be bringing you as many highlights as we can of the journey to York.
0701: The first torchbearer of the day will be Erica Hughes, 72, from Pocklington, who is due to leave the Deep shortly.
She was chosen to carry the torch in recognition of her voluntary work with a team of medics at an ear, nose and throat clinic in Nepal.
0702: Among the highlights you can expect to see today are a trip along York's famous city walls, former showjumper Harvey Smith riding with the flame into York Racecourse and Princess Beatrice welcoming the Olympic flame into Harewood House in Leeds.
Harewood House is one of the grandest of English stately homes.
Work began on the house in 1759 and was inhabitable by 1771. Landscape gardener Lancelot 'Capability' Brown planned the magnificent gardens and furniture maker Thomas Chippendale crafted the furniture for the house.
0704: We're being told the first torch has been lit and Erica is about to start her leg.
If you're out on the route why not send us your pictures and tell us what's going on. Tweet us at @BBC2012 and visit our Facebook page.
0707: And we're off. With a big smile and a wave Erica sets off walking as the early-morning supporters give her a clap and a cheer.
0708: Erica is a nurse and health visitor who has also helped as a volunteer with a church youth group, takingn young people on inspiring voyages with the Tall Ships Youth Trust as a nurse. She has also volunteered for placements in Tanzania, training HIV community workers .
Last year she joined an international team of doctors and nurses to run a mobile ear, nose and throat clinic in an impoverished part of Western Nepal which treated 900 patients for free.
0709: Carrying the flame now is Jack Franklin in his electrically-powered wheelchair. Jack has Duchenne muscular dystrophy but says he "is doing the best he can to make the most of life". And we're told he enjoys the independence his wheelchair gives him around the school site and values this opportunity to be just like any other 15-year-old student.
He is prominent in fundraising to improve the lives of others and last year was named Junior Fundraiser of the Year by Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.
0712: The flame passes to Michael Gibbons, a boxing coach for more than 12 years who has opened a community centre which embraces a wide range of community activities such as amateur boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, a dance community and cafe.
He stops briefly to give someone a kiss and a hug.
0716: The sun is shining as we pass Spurn Lightship and Hull's marina.
Don't forget to send us your torch relay pictures to brighten up our page. Tweet us @bbc2012 or visit our Facebook page.
0721: BBC Radio Humberside reporter Amanda White, who was at The Deep in Hull, said: "The sun is bright, it's a dazzling morning but no eyes are on the sun, everyone is watching Jack Franklin."
0723: The flame is put into the lantern for the first road journey of the day to Brough.
0727: We're passing the KC Stadium on the right and the Humber Bridge is just coming into view.
0737: We've arrived in Brough to a warm welcome.
Over the last couple of years, the next torchbearer Emily-Jane Cramphorn has dedicated herself to making change happen for children with serious, debilitating mental illnesses.
Emily, 17, had anorexia for almost five years and spent almost three years in and out of hospital. Emily won a national award after being nominated by many sufferers from all over the UK for inspiring others to recover.
0740: Next up is 12-year-old Callum Sexon who is a keen footballer and plays for his school team and local club Hall Road Rangers.
Last year Callum was attacked by a dog and needed 46 stitches in the back and side of his head and 23 stitches in his face. He says he was determined not to let the incident have a negative effect on his life.
0742: Taking the torch in front of a respectable crowd is Deniz.
After her baby was diagnosed with PKU illnesses - a genetic metabolism illness - Deniz Atakay founded the first NGO in Turkey about PKU. She also wrote an eduational book about the illness and became became a member of European PKU Association.
Deniz has also written an informative drama which is about to be staged.
0744: She's got the moves like Jagger, the moves like Jagger... it's Tracy Jagger now running with the flame. Tracy is a guider in charge of a local Brownie unit and the district commissioner for the area of Mount Pellon in Halifax.
0751: Football-crazy Nigel Richardson is up next. For the the last 23 years Nigel has been involved in grassroots football coaching for children aged 4-16 years, a number of whom have had both physical and mental disabilities.
And for the last 17 years he has delivered coaching courses on behalf of the English FA in the Yorkshire area, enabling and assisting coaches to develop their skills.
We've a feeling Nigel could be watching England play in the Euros later this evening!
0754: Running now is Harvey Jackson who was diagnosed with Nephrotic syndrome - a kidney failure diesase - three years ago and had to stay in hospital for a long time. He has recovered beyond expectation and two days after his 15th birthday he ran the Leeds Jane Tomlinson 10k run with his dad.
Harvey plays football for a local team, runs for a local running club and is he has recently completed a 75-mile bike ride.
0756: Describing the scenes in Brough, BBC Radio Humberside reporter Amanda White says: "It's absolutely fantastic. No-one is at home in Brough, they're all out on the streets.
"There are deckchairs at the end of driveways, empty coffee and tea mugs in gardens. The bunting is well and truly out here."
0758: The streets are packed here, what a start to the day.
0802: Here we have gymnast Rebecca Hall for the last leg in Brough. Rebecca is the current British Universities & Colleges Sport champion, has won medals as part of the England gymnastics team.
She is on track to compete for Great Britain at the World Student Games this year.
Vicky Skelton tweets: "Callum Sexon running with the #olympictorch2012 through #Brough"
0805: Back into the van and we're headed to Goole. Wonder what the turnout will be like there.
It's looking like it's going to be a dry and sunny day for the torch. Want to know what the weather is like on the route up ahead? Hover over the green dots on the map to see the forecast for up tp three days before it reaches you.
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, tweets: "So day two of the Olympic Torch in Yorkshire is well and truly under way and bathed in sunshine… if you're watching it today, savour the moment."
0823: The van carrying the bicycles and spare torches is clearly not built for speed as Oo'ard Roddie points out in his tweet: "@bbc2012 just been passed by a caravan. That's the O.lym.pic torch. Passed by a caravan. Oh the shame...."
0830: First to run with the torch in Goole is Michaela Bryant who has a hole in the heart. She's standing with a man who looks remarkably like a mayor before she sets off.
0834: Next up is Helen Nicholson who is a trustee, the company secretary and a volunteer for Street Angels - an initiative that aims to make communities a safer place to be.
Helen patrols the streets of Halifax Town centre between 9pm and 3am on Fridays and Saturdays helping anyone needing assistance. This can involve giving directions, providing first aid, calling for police support, asking CCTV to monitor a situation or supporting door ataff with incidents.
BBC Radio Humberside tweets: "BBC Radio Humberside's Andy Comfort says he's "gobsmacked" by the turn out in Goole. You don't hear him say that often!"
0837: Carrying the torch should be no trouble for power lifter Lynn Williams. She competed at the World Summer Games in Athens last year and her nominator says Lynn "is a shining example to young people with learning difficulties who may have their own Olympic dreams in their chosen sport".
0839: We've split from the torchbearer. Lynn is now handing over to Antoine Cherfan.
0851: Running with the torch now is swimmer Eleanor Faulkner, who is part of the 2012 Team GB squad.
She won a silver and bronze in the Fina World Cup in Stockholm last year and will compete in the 800m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle at the London Games.
0855: Don't forget that if you want to see the celebrations from Monday night as the torch reached its final destination in Hull, you can watch the BBC's programme on the highlights, presented by John Inverdale, on the BBC iPlayer.
0910: So here we are in Camblesforth, just a few minutes behind time. First up is Deborah Mcclean.
0911: Schoolchildren are out in force giving the torch and its bearer plenty of support. In return they get a coach honk.
0912: Meanwhile North Yorkshire Police are reminding people, for their own safety, to stay on the pavement as the torch passes through the county.
0915: Here we have smiling Joanne Hellowell who high-fives as she takes over the relay. Joanne volunteers as a Brownie leader and also for her community Alzheimer's Society where every Friday she helps with admin, fundraising and raising awareness.
Richard Batterby says on Facebook: "See you all in York later this evening! Can't wait! I have my union jacks ready."
0919: 12-year-old Selby High School student Rachel Keil-Isaac is eagerly waiting for her turn to carry the torch in the town where the flame is now headed.
0926: It looks busy in Selby where Cem Arslan, wearing red trainers, gets the crowd going. There's a good showing here and the Union Jack flags are flying high.
Selby once had a large shipbuilding industry and was an important port, mainly due to the Selby Canal which brought trade from Leeds.
0934: Here we have Jacob Taylor, an 18-year-old who volunteers as a worker in a school supporting children with disablities. He is also a support assistant for a maths class at his school.
Outside the classroom Jacob has completed triathlons to raise money for the Cancer Research charity.
Loud screams here where the town's residents have flooded the streets.
0937: Selby District Council describes the passing of the torch as a "proud moment in the town's history".
And the town can be very proud of the turnout. No torch apathy here.
On it's tour through Selby the flame passed the abbey which is the town's most prominent building. Together with the Abbot's Staithe it forms all that remains of a large monastery founded in the year 1069, apparently by the monk Benedict who travelled from Auxerre in France.
0941: Pupils at Selby High School, dressed in maroon uniforms, clearly enjoying time away from lessons to enjoy the spectacle.
0942: And now after all that excitment it's time for a break.
0946: After Selby, the villagers of Monk Fryston are next to welcome the flame.
The name of the village originates from "Monk's Free Stone" as all the stone used to build Selby Abbey was taken from a quarry in the centre of the village opposite the old school building.
0950: The convoy vehicles are parked up in Selby High School and the area has been surrounded by pupils. They're enjoying the entertainment from the sponsor vehicles.
0955: First after the break is Aaron Brown who is the first person in England with cystic fibrosis to become a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
He's taking a lap of the school grounds much to the delight of the pupils. And he's escaped unharmed, it was a bit of a frenzy in there.
0957: It is very noisy here. Selby is definitely enjoying its moment in the spotlight.
0959: Taking over the baton is Graham Crerar, a governor at his local school and chair of his local parish council.
Among his fundraising activities, Graham hires out wedding marquees to raise money for the Butterfield's Edward Johnson Trust, which sponsors and jointly funds a residential hostel for boys, one for girls and a day-care and night shelter, and runs an outreach programme
1001: In 2008, the next torchbearer Peter Heald was diagnosed with cancer of the tonsil. After five cycles of chemotherapy, 35 shots of radiotherapy and numerous operations, he is in remission but can feed only through a tube.
His nominator says Peter has a great sense of humour and is an inspiration to his colleagues.
Peter has for many years been a scout leader, involved in major scouting events in the UK. This year he took part in his first international scout camp since his illness started.
1005: Can somebody please have a marmalade sandwich ready for Brian Hughes at the end of his stint of the relay? Brian has run the London Marathon 18 times, nine of which he was dressed as Paddington Bear! In total, Brian has completed 30 marathons and 200 half marathons.
When not runing long distances, Brian has voluntarily taught Shotokan Karate and Jujitsu, swimming and lifesaving and also founded the York Knavesmire Harriers running club, of which he still serves as president.
He founded and organises an annual 5km run for research into prostrate cancer at York University's Yorkshire Cancer Research Laboratories, which raised £13,000 in its first year.
1011: BBC Radio York reporter Jenny Eells says there is vibrant atmosphere in Monk Fryston where the torch is now heading: "The Salvation Army band is due to strike up, there are buskers. One person said they had never seen Monk Fryston this busy on a Tuesday morning."
1015: Aaron Brown, who carried the torch through Selby, said he and the other torchbearers received an "overwhelming" response.
"The amount of good spirit and sense of national pride behind all of us is tremendous. We really got a sense of being cheered on through the streets."
1021: Uh oh, we've lost the picture to the tech-gremlins. Hopefully we will have them back for you soon.
1022: A Monk Fryston resident said the turnout in the village had made "the hairs on the back of my neck stand up".
"It's awesome. The village has never seen anything like this.""It's awesome. The village has never seen anything like this."
1026: First due to run in the village is Richard Mason who in 1997 won the BBC Passion for Sport Award and used his prize money to build a rebound wall at Eskdale School in Whitby where he was a pupil.
Fifteen years on he gets the honour of carrying the Olympic torch.
1028: Back with the pictures now and we have Louise Gutherie who last year climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and raised more than £19,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Louise has been involved in a number of charity and volunteering activities through out her life from helping out with the Scouting and Guiding Movements to working with other HBOS colleagues and Habitat for Humanity to build a number of houses in Africa.
1036: The flame goes back into the lantern and will be driven to Barkston Ash.
Malik Walton tweets: "Very excited in Boston Spa waiting to see the #OlympicTorch .. Watching it online in Monk Fryston now."
1045: Surrounded by green fields and a few supporters is Louise Hanen.
She set up the Acorn Committee of fundraisers 11 years ago and since then has raised £700,000 for the local Alzheimer's Society. She started the committee after her father was diagnosed with early onset dementia in his mid 50s.
Through her leadership, the Acorn Committee has organised balls, bike rides, tennis tournaments and golf days, cookery demonstrations and lunches as well as running half marathons, walking 40 miles in 24 hours and cycling 100k.
1048: Taking his turn to the beat of drums is Tuna Yilmaz. Most of the village must be out here enjoyng the scenes.
Local legend has it that the ash tree which stands in the centre of the village, from which it takes its name, also marks the exact centre of Yorkshire, and that anyone who spits at this tree will come to a bad end.
1055: The flame is back in the coach for a short hop to Tadcaster.
1103: We're running approximately 10 minutes behind schedule as the convoy hits the streets again on the outskirts of Tadcaster. The torch is relit for Claire Wood who has raised £32,000 for various charities. She has chronic spondylo arthritis, fibromygia and costochondritis but continues to be a "true inspiration to many others".
Not many people on this bit of the route, as she approaches the John Smiths Brewery.
1107: There is a bit more of a crowd now, greeting Claire and cheering on her replacement Mehreen Akhtar. The 15-year-old is blind and has ambitions to compete in the Paralympics ater being talent-spotted at a county disability athletics event. She breaks into a jog with her guide.
1110: There are lots of people on the pavements of Leeds Rd and Chapel Street as Sally Johnston takes over with the flame.
Peter George tweets: "Holding the fort at work while the rest of the staff are enjoying the sights of the #olympictorch going through #Wetherby."
They should be back before midday, Peter. Torch should arrive around 1145.
1114: After a serious earthquake in Turkey, Derin Ural-Serpenguzel returned to her home country to help.
She coordinated the Federal Emergency Management Association (Fema) education project at Istanbul Technical University and also published Turkey's first Turkish Natural Disasters Management book, which was distributed by educating NGOs and municipalities. Later she wrote the first National Earthquake Strategics and Action Plan.
She says she wants to continue to create awareness about natural disasters, and help decrease future losses in the face of natural disasters.
A brass band strikes up "New York, New York" as she passes.
1115: There is some fast and furious changing over here in Tadcaster. Next is Heidi Potter, who stepped in and trained as a leader to prevent the local Brownies from closing. She also organised a fundraising day to support Yorkshire air ambulance. And she makes the teas for the village cricket team.
1118: Pupils of Riverside Community Primary School in Wetherby Road are out in force, all shouting, screaming and waving flags as Heidi marches past, waving to as many of them as possible.
1120: The flame goes back in its lantern, which goes back in the bus and we have a short convoy to Boston Spa.
BBC Look North reporter Phil Bodmer, who is on the Olympic Torch convoy, has tweeted: "Tadcaster absolutely brilliant memorable celebration for #OlympicTorch.".
1125: We're on the High Street of Boston Spa, close by the banks of the River Wharfe and next with the torch is journalist Cengiz Semercioğlu, one of 12 torchbearers nominated by the Turkish Olympic Committee through one of the sponsors, gets his turn.
1129: Could this be the start of Jemma Aylesbury's Olympic involvement? The 13-year-old's dream is to one day swim in the Olympic Games. She swims with the City of Leeds Swimming Club, training every night after school and two mornings before school. She wakes up at 4am for a 40-mile round trip to training, goes to school and does it all again in the evening.
There are some classic cars on the side of the narrow street and the convoy squeezes through the crowds behind Jemma.
1133: The flame passes to Maureen Brewer, who has worked for the West Yorkshire Crime Prevention unit in Wetherby for over 26 years, volunteering in the Neighbourhood Watch scheme and as chair of the crime prevention panel.
1137: Here's a man who would have been at home with an uphill stint with the torch, Marc Scott is a mountain runner who has represented England at U16, U17 and U18 level. A conveniently-placed group of children squeal as he takes the torch off at a jog.
An excited Miss Snooty tweets: "@BBC2012 Can't wait for it to arrive in York later, and the sun is out! A good excuse to leave work early for such a memorable occasion."
Let's hope the weather holds!
1139: In 2006, Laurence Whiteley, 20, was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and had nine months of chemotherapy at the teenage cancer unit (R.V.I hospital in Newcastle) and surgery to remove the tumour. A titanium implant was used to replace his right knee and bone in his lower leg.
Doctors said he would not compete in sport again but in 2008 Laurence began swimming again and the following year he was classified by British Swimming as an S10 and became Junior 50m Freestyle Champ, ranked seventh in the world.
The London 2012 Paralympic Games was well within in his sights but in April 2010 he was taken ill with a life-threatening infection in his prosthesis and was in hospital for two months.
While he was unable to train or compete he qualified as a swimming instructor and now teaches young children to swim.
In the last few years Laurence has helped raise over £50,000 for cancer charities and gives support to newly diagnosed teenagers.
More enthusiastic schoolchildren, all in red jumpers, chat "Lawrence, Lawrence!"
1144: A "podgy, gasping 45-year-old" is how Peter Howard's nominator describes the next torchbearer, as he was 33 years ago when he was overweight and smoked heavily.
A lot has changed since then - Peter, who only learnt to swim when he was 50, became European and World triathlon champion when he was 77 years old! He has been on the podium of national, European and World Championships every year from the age of 50 to 75.
Peter has formed a triathlon club, organised events and coached at all levels. He has also been Britain's triathlon representative at European and World conferences, and team manager for the national squad.
Just two disciplines for Peter today though - jogging and waving.
1147: Boston Spa has welcomed the torch and its bearers particularly enthusiastically but now it's back into convoy and on to Wetherby, where our earlier tweeter Peter George's workmates have been waiting for a while now. We're 10-12 minutes behind schedule, although there will be chance to catch up with a shortened lunch break.
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, has tweeted a picture of Princess Beatrice arriving at Harewood, which is the destination shortly before midday.
1154: Susan Corbett is the first flamecarrier in Weatherby, on Rowland Marywick Rd.
1157: Next up is Ercan Tutal, a creator of social development projects via sports and arts. Ercans projects include 'Diving is Freedom', which has given 3000 disabled people the chance to dive.
He gives the Victory V and waves his arms to encourage the cheering crowds.
1159: Alan Hinkes is a British mountaineer who has summited all 14 mountains with elevations greater than 8,000 metres. In 2010 he raised money for Mountain Rescue by climbing 39 county peaks in eight days.
He's a bit of a showman, is Alan, running backwards while waving and doing a few twirls.
1203: Diagnosed with a brain tumor in October 2008, 13-year-old George Stocker underwent 48 weeks of chemotherapy as part of his treatment. During his road to recovery he has raised £50,000 for Candlelighters, a local cancer charity. His own personal challenge was to be able to play rugby again and he returned to action last year.
Wetherby's North Street is jam-packed as George jogs through.
1208: The last torchbearer in Wetherby is John Bretherick, secretary of Salts Tennis Club, then we're back in convoy to our lunchtime destination of Harewood.
1220: Sorry we missed the start of the leg by Roy Leinster, a 75-year-old club runner, in Harewood. The old 3G signal is a little weak again. Roy is taking us towards Harewood House.
1225: We just caught a glimpse of Jonny Johnson, who has overcome a difficult start in life when dyspraxia left him with severe expressive language disorder, low spatial awareness and also an imbalance in muscle tone. He now runs and coaches for Harrogate Harriers.
1229: We're in the grounds of Harewood House now and a knight on horseback is following the latest torchbearer, Janet Baker. She is involved with raising money for several charities - local and national - through a wide variety of fundraising activities, including cake sales, car boot sales, garage tea parties, running numerous 10k and half marathons and cycling across Kenya.
So far Janet has raised almost £19,000 for Women Vs Cancer, Alzheimer's Society, Liverpool Alder Hey Hospital and Manchester Chiildren's Hospital.
Harewood House, which has Grade 1 listing, was built from 1759 to 1771 and is home to the Lascelles family. It is hosting a "Medieval Faire" later this month so perhaps the knight has turned up early.
1231: Janet reaches the steps of Harewood House, where Princess Beatrice is waiting and the two pose for photos, surrounded by a crowd.
The torch will be having its lunch for the next half hour but please join us again shortly after 1330 as we hit the road in Knaresborough.
1303: Princess Beatrice has been meeting torchbearers and some invited guests during the lunch break at Harewood House but we expect the torch to be back on the road shortly, in convoy for the 10-mile trip to Knaresborough.
Among the highlights for this afternoon and evening, the torch will visit Fountains Abbey in Ripon at around 1530 then head to York for the evening celebration.
Harvey Smith, the British show jumping champion who competed in two Olympic Games, will ride with the flame around York Racecourse before lighting the cauldron.
1316: We'll have live video again shortly. The convoy of white vans is heading back through the grounds of Harewood House.
Remember you can get in touch, send us your thoughts and picks on Twitter @BBC2012 or by using #bbctorchcam, or via the BBC London 2012 Facebook page.
Audrey Caunt comments on our Facebook page: "Just back in from watching the torch change over in Barkston Ash :) great atmosphere AND the sun shone."
BBC School Report tweets: "Students from @SelbyHigh out & about early on #torchrelay day 32 - ready to report on arrival of #OlympicFlame with @BBCYork."
And here is that report from the pupils at Selby High School. Student Rachel, 12, carried the torch into the school grounds and School Reporters Ben and Laura got the chance to provide live commentary on her arrival for BBC Radio York.
1337: A town crier welcomes the torch to York Road, on the outskirts of Knaresborough and first to take the flame after lunch is Danielle Bailey.
Danielle contracted meningitis at the age of four which resulted in both her legs being amputated above the knee as well as both her hands and all her fingers
She started swimming last year and has since gone on to join Harrogate's swimming squad and now regularly competes in the National Gala in Sheffield. Danielle hopes one day to compete in the Paralympics.
As with many of the wheelchair users who have carried the torch, Danielle has a special fitting on her chair to hold the torch while she waves to people on the roadside.
1337: There are woops from the crowd, and more cries from the town crier, as Danielle passes the flame on to Caroline Houseman, an animal lover who volunteers for an animal rescue centre.
Caroline helps to organises visits to the centre for disabled and terminally ill children to spend time with the animals. She had breast cancer last year and underwent chemo and radiotherapy. She says she likes to "encourage others to be positive about illness and grab whatever opportunities come their way".
Caroline breaks into a jog, forcing the town crier, who is carrying his own replica torch and wearing a heavy-looking frock coat, to do likewise.
1347: Next up is Jim Moulton who is involed with Nuzzlets, a charity that seeks to provide homes for unwanted animals and that specialises in visits for children with disabilities, special needs and life threatening illnesses.
Jim volunteers many hours per week and through his fundraising Nuzzlets has been able to open a new log cabin which allows continued activities which were previously disrupted by wet weather.
Jim runs to the side of the road and high-fives some children. Perhaps he saw the photo of Princess Bea demonstrating the move earlier.
There's a shout of "Daddy!" and he blows a kiss before handing over to the next torchbearer.
1351: As the youth pastor for a church in Bradford, David Niblock encourages young people to realise their dreams and organises opportunities equipping them for the future. Over 300 youngsters come to the church every Friday evening.
Before he became the youth pastor, Dave worked with young children with special educational needs in Bradford.
One eight-year-old schoolboy Fred, said watching the torch in Knaresborough with his friends was "really cool".
"It's just amazing. Everyone is buzzing with excitement," he said.
1354: Selale Kadak, a Turkish journalist, gets the next leg through noisy Knaresborough. There are people hanging out of windows to see over the crowds.
1404: Chariots of Fire plays out over the sound of a bell being rung as Sue Couture takes over. She has been a member of Harrogate Hockey Club for more than 30 years, she has played, coached, umpired and been on the committee for the club.
Sue volunteers weekly at a Paper Works, an organisation set up to give disabled adults employment opportunities and she is also a Sustrans ranger, helping to keep cycle paths open and the environment clean.
1408: Simon Parker stops briefly as the town crier makes an annoucement.
1411: Jane and Ian are signing off now - and it is Ian Westbrook and Neville Dalton as your text commentators for the rest of the day.
1412: That was a very short convoy ride and we are now in Harrogate.
1415: Andy McMenemy's stint with the torch will be barely a warm-up for him. Last year he set the world record for the most consecutive days running an ultra marathon - 66 marathons, each 31.07 miles long, in 66 days in 66 cities of the UK. It's tiring just to write that!
In the process of his world record, Andy raised money for ABF, the Soldiers' Charity that provides support for soldiers and their families during active service.
1423: Harrogate is a spa town with many tourist attractions, and I'm sure there is a good mix of visitors among the locals lining the streets as Judith Charlesworth takes her turn with the torch.
1425: Now it's the turn of Hugh O'Neill, who has been heavily involved in coaching sport in his local community for over 10 years.
He has recently joined a local running club, organising team relay races and marathons that have raised over £22,000 for 'The Little Way' cancer support charity and Kildare/Newbridge Youth Drugs charity.
1431: Still to come today are visits to Fountains Abbey, Ripon and York, where the torch will be carried around the city walls and later into York Racecourse on horseback by Harvey Smith.
1436: Huge cheers as the torch is carried by Megan Smith, 13, who lost her mum to cancer two years ago and says when she plays netball, runs or swims "I am always determined to do my mum proud".
Loud drums beat in the crowd as she runs past and cries of "Come on Megan" can be clearly heard from her friends.
1437: Wow - a record run there from Megan of what was not much more than a minute, one of the quickest of the entire relay.
In August 2009, the next torchbearer Helen Mackenzie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite this we are told she only wants to help others and is inspiring and enthusiastic in all that she does, in particular through sport.
Helen has championed the new sport of Rocketball, established swimming clubs and revived Ripon's sports day.
Colin Lancaster is missing the torch already as he tweets: "Can you bring the Olympic flame back up to Newcastle please, it's nice and sunny today!"
1447: Caitlin Chang now has the torch - she has been chosen for her commitment and dedication to the sport of fencing.
1449: Both arms are raised aloft by Hanneke Dye, who has crammed a lot into her 69 years - much of it painful; much of it inspirational. She was born in hiding in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands and was concealed in a children's home during part of the war.
After moving to England, she raised three children before devoting her life to caring for her husband, who had cancer. Even since his death, she continues to care for others, as well as raising cash for the hospice where her husband was looked after.
1451: It doesn't appear that many lessons are taking place in schools across Yorkshire.
Teacher Fiona Barkley tweeted us to say "Coverage has been immense today, had it on in class as it passed by in Selby."
While an on the spot BBC reporter snapped this picture of schoolchildren lining the route in Harrogate, where an estimated 8,000 of them welcomed the torch:
1453: Multi-torchbearing is now the order of the day as a team of 10 from one of the relay sponsors run off in unison. Usual procedure as has happened with other teams during the relay - they all run together - and then a different torch is lit every 300 metres.
1500: That's it for Harrogate - now we are in convoy mode for the 25-minute journey to Fountains Abbey.
1502: Public service announcement time - City of Yorkshire Council is reminding you not to go to the evening celebration event at York racecourse tonight if you don't have a ticket. All 26,000 tickets have been taken.
1515: Don't forget that if you have missed any of this afternoon's session - you can watch it again right now thanks to our new enhanced video offering. While a session is live, use the white slider to move back to the time you wish to view and you can rewatch your favourite moment or see a torchbearer for the first time. To return to live, move the slider back to the far right of the orange bar.
1520: Away from the relay, we learn that at least someone has been pleased to see the recent rain that has swept across Britain.
Des Smith, head gardener of the Olympic Park, has told the BBC that conditions have been ideal for the flowers and plants that are being grown there for the opening ceremony.
1528: The Olympic torch gets to visit some fascinating and historical places, but it's not every day it takes centre stage at a World Heritage Site, as it is about to do now.
Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, on the outskirts of Ripon, described as the wonder of the north, is a beautiful estate which reportedly contains the largest abbey ruins in the country, dating back to the 12th Century, and spectacular Georgian water gardens.
1532: Unfortunately we are unable to bring you pictures of the torch being held at Fountains Abbey - once it has been photographed the relay crew will be taking a 20-minute break.
1552: Don't forget that you can get in touch with us at any time - by email to yourpics@bbc.co.uk text to 61124 (UK only), tweet us at @BBC2012 or visit our BBC London 2012 Facebook page.
1602: And we're on our way into Ripon, a market town and cathedral city - work that one out.
Its present cathedral is the fourth to have stood on the site - the first was begun in AD 672. And Ripon also boasts a race course, which the convoy passes en route to York a little later.
1604: It's just a few minutes' drive before the next torchbearer takes over. We've lost the picture again because of problems with the 3G signal, but we hope to have it back by the time the torch is handed over.
1607: Lewis Birkinshaw, 17, is the first person to pick up the torch again on this leg of the journey. He is Bradford Academy's current citizen of the year.
1611: Picture has gone again temporarily, but due to be running now is Robert Heaton. He may only be 12, but Robert, from Harrogate is viewed by many as a role model. He has represented his schools at rugby, football and cricket, captaining some of the sides. He's described as fair, and tries to resolve disputes by talking things through.
Maybe he'll become a referee one day.
1614: Matt Davidson is in prime position in Ripon to watch the relay as he tweets: "The view from the window #madness."
Wonder if Emma is standing near Matt's window. Either way she sent us this picture from the town:
1621: Still no picture, I'm afraid. But the torchbearers are well into Ripon, where there are an awful lot of people out on the streets, as you can see from these pictures sent to us from torch relay producer Katie Townsend on the media vehicle:
1628: A few more carriers before the torch goes back in convoy to York. One of them is Helena Conlin.
There has been a pretty dramatic change to her life since she gave up smoking six years ago. After putting on weight as a result, she began a fitness drive, including pre-school walks - and then runs - early enough in the morning to avoid being spotted by anyone who might know her.
Now the 45-year-old is the centre of attention - carrying the torch right through the middle of Ripon's market area.
1629: Our picture is back, just in time for the torch kiss, from Isabelle Fenny to Harun Tekin.
Thirteen-year-old Isabelle was born with cystic fibrosis, but - as with so many other torch bearers is described as an inspiration to others.
She has already completed the junior Great North Run, raising money for cystic-fibrosis charities, and hopes to become a physiotherapist.
1631: The torch goes back into its lantern and the convoy sets off for the 50-minute (approximately) journey to York, the final destination today.
1638: BBC Look North reporter Phil Bodmer was in Harrogate earlier watching the torch and tweeted: "Well done #Harrogate you did the #OlympicTorchRelay proud! Next stop Ripon, then on to York!"
1641: York's Sweet Story - a chocolate-themed visitor attraction in the city - has made an edible version of the Olympic Torch to celebrate its arrival in York later:
1655: A couple of big moments coming up in York, where the torch will be carried around a section of the city walls and will later be taken on horseback into York Racecourse by former showjumper Harvey Smith.
Not long to wait now for Victoria McCaskill, who tweets: "Waiting for the torch in York on Mill Mount. So exciting!"
1720: The convoy has dropped off the torch for the resumption of the relay.
1723: And it's back on the streets of York, with the next torchbearer, 15-year-old James Hunter, who his parents describe as "a healthy and bright teenager " after he overcame the diificulties of being born extremely premature - after just 23 weeks' gestation.
1725: As he heads up the Tadcaster Road, the crowds get larger - and noisier. We seem to have said that once or twice before. He hands over to Jeffrey Shell.
1728: Our next torchbearer should have no problem keeping us on schedule. Matt Shirvington is the second-fastest Australian of all time. He competed for his country in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. He held the Australian 100m record with a mark of 10.03 seconds in 1998 until Patrick Johnson topped it with a time of 9.93 in 2003.
1731: No new record for Matt today. He seemed intent on soaking up every second of the atmosphere along the Tadcaster Road. And now running with the torch is Sam Asfahani, 22, who is helping to increase participation in sport at York University in his role as president of the student sports association.
1733: Next with the torch is Grace Oyesoro, president of York University's biggest student society - the York Entrepeneurs Society.
1737: These crowds are excellent - several deep as the good people of historic York look to make the most of the city's latest flirtation with history.
1737: What an achievement we have now.
Gordon (John) Bickers carried the flame at the last London Olympics in 1948 - he now has the huge honour 64 years later of taking it again, this time at the age of 85 through the streets of York. Surely this is a unique achievement - unless you know better of course.
1741: BBC Look North reporter Dan Johnson is in prime position at York Racecourse, where the evening celebration has just started on the stage:
1744: We're about 15 minutes away from York's city walls, along part of which the torch will be carried. Meanwhile, the flame is with Amanda Fryer, who proudly sports participant number 100.
1749: Those volume levels rise a few more decibels as Daniel Moss brings the torch along The Mount before handing over to Emma Tomlinson.
1756: They've just passed York's 53m wheel, which offers great views over the city and surrounding area, and are heading for the walls now.
1800: We're on the wall, with Phil Jones. He is junior coach at York City Rowing Club and is, says his nominee "an inspiration to the children in his care". He is the second member of the club to carry the torch in as many days, after Great Britain oarsman Tom Ransley completed a leg in Pickering yesterday.
1801: Sixteen-year-old Scott Stockdale takes over the torch. He has been delivering Games-themed assemblies to his fellow pupils in Harrogate.
1804: Back on the ground now we are with Stan Wild, 68, who competed in two Olympic Games and was nominated for "selfless dedication" to York City Gymnastics Club, which he founded in 1974.
The club, which has charitable status, has 1,800 child members. He said he felt "honoured and very proud" to have been chosen.
If you want to see a picture of Stan in his competitive days, you can find it in this story.
1806: BBC York's Jonathan Cowap reports: "More than 200 cyclists are to escort the Olympic torch when it arrives in York as part of the torch relay. Only two cities, York and Cambridge, have been granted permission to add a cycle escort to the relay by organisers. Cyclists taking part will be chosen from local cycling clubs, the City of York Council said."
1809: This is unlikely to be the final part Angie Winstanley-Smith plays in the 2012 Olympics as she can expect to one of the GB women's water polo squad for the Games. Forward Angie, 27, who comes from South Shields but is based in Manchester, has been playing for GB since 2007.
1811: Danny Rodwell, 16, from York who now has the torch, will find this journey considerably easier than the one he undertook two years ago when he and his dad cycled from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise money for cancer research.
1813: The relay is attracting all sorts in York it seems - as you can tell from this picture by Mark Lawrence of brass bands and vikings waiting for the torch by Clifford's Tower in York:
18.16: Luke Young, 34, is carrying the torch along The Shambles, the ancient throroughfare with timber-framed buildings - some dating back to the 14th Century - overhanging the street. Not the sort of place you want to drive a torch convoy along.
I imagine they've taken measurements before setting out... haven't they?
18.21: And a brass band strikes up Land of Hope and Glory as the torch is handed to Richard Baldwin.
1823: Mr Baldwin, 72, has worked in local and national charitable organisations for many years and also co-ordinates volunteers for North Yorkshire Police.
1826: The city centre is packed, and the brass band can still be heard above the din. Sports Report is the current tune. Now past Clifford's Tower.
1827: Now we have another British Olympic Association nominee - 18-year-old triathlete Gordon Benson. He trains with the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonathan, and is also a member of the World Class Performance Olympic Talent Squad.
1830: Should we expect a fast run with the torch from Peter Thompson? Maybe yes judging by the fact that he ran in every Great North Run from 1995 to 2007 inclusive to raise money for Action Medical Research. He holds both arms aloft before setting off at a cracking pace.
1832: Thommo milked that run for all it was worth, even stopping for a kiss en route. And now we have 42-year-old John Bowers. He became a living kidney donor to his son Connor, when he suffered end stage renal failure at the age of 14. John had to give up smoking and lose two stone in weight before making the donation to Connor, who now hopes to compete at the Transplant Games.
1835: Three torchbearers to go and the first of those is 42-year-old Ian Meek. He had to take early retirement after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour but has worked relentlessly since then raising money for Andrea's Gift, a charity which supports children and adults suffering from the same condition as him in West Yorkshire.
1839: Roger Mosey, the BBC's director of London 2012,tweets: "Great weather and big crowds in York on #bbctorchcam. Chance to shine now in God's Own County. #Yorkshire"
1840: The day's penultimate torchbearer is 74-year-old Clive Warley. He was born with spina bifida complications but has supported Paralympic and special Olympic sports at regional and national level. He won five gold medals in the nine occasions he took part in the table tennis class 16 British wheelchair finals.
18.43: More music. This time a small band at the side of the road. They're playing Soul Limbo - the theme tune to the BBC'sTest Match Special.
1844: Now we have Wayne Christie, who won a volunteer of the year award for the second time last year for his outstanding contribution to charity.
1845: We are now switching to our helicopter feed to bring you pictures of Harvey Smith with the flame - there is no sound with these pictures.
1847: Decent-size crowds are there to greet the 74-year-old former showjumper as he takes the flame from Wayne. He will now ride it into York Racecourse riding novice showjumper Paddy.
Smith competed in two Olympic Games and won an individual bronze medal at the 1970 World Championships.
1849: And drama as Harvey drops the torch as his horse fails to settle - looks like the flame stayed alight and a handler is trying to calm down the animal before he is given the torch again.
1851: And finally Harvey gets the torch back and very slowly he and Paddy make their way down the course. The horse seems to have calmed down and enthusiastic crowds are welcoming the pair.
1853: BBC Look North are showing this live right now.
Presenter Harry Gration said: "I think that is a fantastic sight is that - the calmness of Harvey."
Fellow presenter Christa Ackroyd said: "Well done Harvey. You can't rush an animal - much easier to control a bicycle or a steam train than an animal. The horse has now flicked its ears which means it is all right and the swish of the tail usually means they are enjoying it."
1855: Harvey has now dismounted and is carrying the torch through the crowds, up on to the stage and is now lighting the cauldron after a countdown from five to one!!
1901: BBC reporter Tanya Arnold was by the stage at the evening celebration looking out at the 26,000-strong crowd:
1903: An obviously proud Harvey acknowledged the applause of the crowd and declared: "I'm very honoured for the whole of Yorkshire to do this for them. I first went into Olympic training in 1959, and I have been to the Olympics three or four times."
He said: "Paddy was a bit frightened to start with, but he settled down. He has never been in front of a crowd like this - perfect gentleman.
Then he adds: "I've worked hard for this city."
BBC Look North's Dan Johnson took this shot of Harvey carrying the torch on Paddy:
1907: So that's it for day 32 of the relay. Tomorrow's leg sees the flame travel from York to Carlisle and we will be back with our usual continuous video and live text in the morning so please join us then. Have a good evening - and if you want to follow a certain football match then click here to join our colleagues over at BBC Sport.
