0752: Good morning and welcome to day 42 of the Olympic torch relay. It's a late start for the flame today, as it will set off from Nottingham Castle (another day, another castle!) at 0814.
From there the relay will visit Nottingham, Newstead, Glapwell, Bolsover, Calow, Chesterfield, Matlock, Darley Dale, Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne and Derby.
Your live text commentators this morning are Christine Jeavans and Jenny Minard.
0758: We're hoping the weather will be a little more kind to the torchbearers today, after the storms which hit the relay yesterday. Having said that, it's currently raining in Nottingham.
However's it's not dampened the atmosphere at the castle where a marching band warming up by playing The Hustle by Van McCoy!
"The rain is tipping it down at the top of the castle here," says BBC Radio Nottingham's Verity Cowley. "Luckily the music is in plastic sheets."
0800: Hello to Dave Vitty and Aled Jones from BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles show who are on the horsebox with our torch team and BBC torchcam this morning.
Dave says: "The sun has started to come out in Nottingham and the spirits are good."
People are up early following the torch on Twitter today. Hello to Kubi Michael Udofia who Tweets: "Whoop! The Olympic torch will be passing through my street in the next hour."
And hello to Elaine Swift who Tweets: "Waiting for the torch relay video online. Looking out for Trent Uni VC and students this morning."
Don't forget you can Tweet us @bbc2012 and leave comments on Facebook.
0808: BBC Radio Nottingham's Verity Cowley says: "500 children are lining the fences, each one of them with flags and torches high in the sky."
Robin Hood and Maid Marian also turned out to see the flame
0816: Here's the day's first torchbearer Barbara Green who has volunteered in her home area of Nottingham, the Clifton Estate, for over 50 years.
She's done everything from running a Girls Brigade Company to helping set up the Clifton Comets Motorcycle Club to getting hundreds of youngsters through their Duke of Edinburgh awards.
A big wave from Barbara as she descends the steps at the castle.
0821: Fittingly for Nottingham, here's a torchbearer who is very involved in archery. Adam Guest shot for the England Archery Team for three years before a car accident left him unable to compete. He turned to managing and is the England Junior Archery Team manager and Coach to the GB archery team.
A big hug and kiss between Barbara and Adam as he sets off along streets still wet from the earlier downpour. The sun has indeed come out in Nottingham now.
0825: And from shooting arrows to scoring goals now. Andrew Palmer is a dedicated football coach and scout who is well known by many young people across the city of Nottingham. He says: "I would like to inspire others to believe in themselves that anything in life is possible. Children often say their goal is too far but I say people say the moon is far but people get there."
0830: It could be our eyes but the torch is looking super sparkly this morning! Pal up with this torchbearer Amy Wardle if you have a sweet tooth as she was nominated for making edible presents for her friends. "I hope to become a baker/cake decorator and bring joy to others lives through their stomachs," she says.
Amy might want to stick with the torch today as later it's going to Bakewell, famed for its puddings.
0832: Table tennis player Emma Vickers is a student at Nottingham Trent University, studying Psychology with Sports Science. She currently competes for Draycott and has represented England at under-13, under-15 and under-18.
Emma earlier told the BBC: "I'm so excited. I'm really looking forward to it."
0837: Chloe Jones joined Nottingham Trent University in 2008 studying for a degree in Textiles. During 2009 she was involved in a hit and run accident in which she lost her leg. She returned to university to complete her second year and also entered the Miss Nottingham competition to show that disabled people can take part and be beautiful.
She also joined the Great Britain sitting volleyball team as a way of coming to terms with her accident.
0838: A big shout out to brother and sister Kevin and Wendy Sheldon who were among the people waiting at Nottingham Castle this morning. Kevin, from Clifton in Nottingham, made his own Olympic hat for the occasion.
0841: Professor Neil Gorman sets off with the flame now. He's the Vice Chancellor of Nottingham Trent University and is an international authority in veterinary science. Following the award of his Doctorate, he taught at the University of Cambridge and the University of Florida.
No flowing academic robes for the professor though, just the standard torchbearer tracksuit.
0848: Shailesh Chauhan passes the flame to Sophie Chatel, 18, who excels in Taekwondo, winning a slew of medals in the past couple of years. She is in the Great Britain National Poomsae squad and last year she competed for the World Taekwondo Poomsae competition in Vladivostok (Russia) finishing 11th as 1st female Team.
Big support for Sophie here who is on home territory as she's from Nottingham.
0851: Rebecca Lowther who is 12, has the flame now. Her nomination from her school says she "is a determined, unassuming girl who continually pushes her boundaries beyond her capabilities, maintaining high standards at all times and is well liked with both peers and staff."
Rebecca has a passion for football and hopes to be a professional player. She's certainly got a good pace going today.
0853: The flame passes to Stephanie Garcette. It's still sunny here but only just, look at those big dark clouds in the sky.
0858: Mark Steele from Nottingham started to experience health problems in 2008 and was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. But he was determined to keep working and managed to do project work from home around his hospital appointments and treatment.
His nomination says: "Mark will always volunteer to assist his colleagues and he has continually remained focussed on giving 100%. An inspirational role model."
0904: Lots of children shouting "Mr T" for the next torchbearer, teacher Bradley Townsend who was diagnosed with mouth cancer a few years ago. In an extensive operation he had half his tongue removed, part of his wrist was removed to replace it and part of his stomach skin grafted to replace his arm.
He has undergone radiotherapy and also the challenge to talk again. He was diagnosed while at his first year at university but he eventually graduated as a teacher.
"Go on Mr T," shouts a young lad in the crowd and Bradley turns and waves.
0907: Great excitement from the kids here: "there's the Olympic flame," bellows a youngster.
0910: The next torchbearer Bill Ferguson is 84 and despite being a former runner, he's told the Nottingham Post he's intending to walk with the flame. "But I feel truly honoured to have been picked to carry the flame, really thrilled to bits," he said.
Bill was President of Notts Athletic Club from 1977 to 1990 and was called up to the GB squad for the 100 yards and 220 yards hurdles. He was also team manager for the GB and England teams at three Commonwealth Games.
A warm handshake between Bradley and Bill as he sets off. Someone has embraced the sporting theme by blowing a whistle loudly.
Heather Stanford has been watching #bbctorchcam today. She tweets: "My son was on torch live feed at Nottingham Castle - big thanks to the Metropolitan Police for the badges for the kids from Bramcote School."
0912: A little bit of Samba music there as Bill goes by with the flame. And as if by magic (and the power of Twitter), we have this picture from Derek Lumb.
0914: Bill pauses for a photo and a hug from a young lady in the crowd, which has really built up, here in Nottingham.
0917: Next up is a group of nine runners who are, deep breath, Laura Sheard, Frans Mardahl, Alexander Mills, Yves De Voeght, Henrik Bennet, Caroline Blomley, Christopher Deere, Etienne Cassagne and Carolin Knottenbeld.
They look like they're having fun as they pass the torch between them.
This is Alexander Mills who is running now, as tweeted by Jack Duckett.
0925: Michelle Hill is a qualified swimming teacher and spends many an evening and weekend coaching children between the ages of five and seven at Thornbury Swimming Club.
Purely coincidental, we're sure, but Ms Hill running up quite a steep one!
Lots of great support for her and the crowd is filling the pavement.
0927: BBC Radio Nottingham's traffic reporter Liz Soar is monitoring the roads and says police riding ahead of the torch convoy are in good spirits.
"What's rather lovely is that the outriders are slowing and rather cleverly stopping to shake hands with some of the crowd," she says.
0929: This sounds like it could be Michelle's swimming pupils chanting "Come on Michelle, come on Michelle"
Hello to Ruby Bhattal who is following #bbctorchcam. She says: "Much better weather today for Olympic torch in Nottingham."
We've not seen a drop of rain yet, nor a poncho in sight... there is still time though.
0931: The first high five of the day and a big hug between Michelle and the next torchbearer, Javier Lopez Morante
0937: Jay Viswambharan takes the flame now and the bells of Holy Trinity Chursh peal out as he runs over the bridge on Church Street and passes the flame to speed skater Saskia Roberts.
0946: Saskia passes the flame to Beryl Horton who has been involved with disability sport for over three decades. Her nomination says: "He contribution to the development of sports opportunities for people with disabilities is immense, she has made a positive impact on hundred's of peoples lives including participants and their families."
0949: Beryl passes the flame to Sasha Matthews who achieved Bronze in the 2010 Commonwealth Games 4x200m relay and was selected, "because of her commitment and dedication to her sport of swimming."
0951: The relay is having a short break here at Ellis Guildford School before getting on the bus and heading off to Newstead.
1002: While we wait for the relay to get under way again, here's what we have to look forward to today.
In about half an hour, the flame will visit Newstead Abbey, once the home of poet Lord Byron.
But it's not the grandest house of the day, that's Chatsworth House, near Bakewell in Derbyshire.
And it will also scale the Heights of Abraham by cable car in the Peak District and visit Chesterfield with its crooked spire.
1011: Swimmer Sam Van De Schootbrugge from Nottingham has held a 200m individual medley record and was selected because of his commitment to sport.
He gives a wave but then the flame is put into the lantern as Sam will be carrying it again at Newstead Abbey, where the relay convoy is heading now.
1018: Bit of a drive now, so if you missed this yesterday, watch Olympic gold medallists Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean skate onto the ice with the flame.
The Olympic legends carried the torch past hundreds of cheering spectators and performed a specially-choreographed routine with the torch in hand at Nottingham's Ice Centre
1027: Time to wax lyrical seeing as we're on our way to Lord Byron's former home.
Maybe the torch will shine its "tender light" like the woman in one of his most famous works, She Walks in Beauty:
"She walks in beauty, like the night/ Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright/ Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light/ Which heaven to gaudy day denies"
1034: The convoy is driving along the avenues inside Newstead Abbey estate. We've heard that there will be a break first so we may not see any torchbearing for a wee while.
1041: Newstead Abbey was founded as a monastic house in the late 12th century, and to this day the house retains much of its medieval character.
The West Front of the church dates from the late 13th century and is now a scheduled ancient monument. Inside the house are medieval cloisters, the former chapter house (now the chapel) and a collection of medieval stone carvings and manuscripts.
It was the ancestral home of the Byron family but fell into disrepair and the poet sold the Abbey in 1818 to Thomas Wildman, who had inherited a fortune from plantations owned by his family in Jamaica.
1054: We'd love to hear from you if you're off to the watch the torch relay today or viewing online via torchcam. Tweet us @BBC2012 or get in touch with us on our BBC London 2012 Facebook page.
1101: Swimmer Sam Van De Schootbrugge from Nottingham runs across the front of the abbey cheered on by a small crowd.
He then ascends the steps of the front of the abbey.
1111: And we're off now to Glapwell, over the county boundary into Derbyshire
1114: Ooh a low bridge here, one of the torch security team is waving the torchcam horsebox through... it's a squeeze but it makes it
After her stint in Nottingham this morning, Emma Vickers is having a well-earned rest and tweeted this picture, saying: "Just chillin' with the torch."
1133: The M1's thankfully quite clear today as the convoy whizzes along from Nottinghamshire into Derbyshire. And the rain is holding off for now at least.
1140: Here's young Jonathan Shelton who is the first torchbearer in Glapwell. Huge support for him from the flag-waving crowds, and he has a big smile on his face.
1145: Jonathan passes the flame to Eloise Speirs, 13, was nominated by her father. Eloise's mum died from a brain tumour called glioblastoma multiforme. A charity called Headcase was set up to raise funds for research into the type of cancer. Eloise designed the charity's logo and has been instrumental in raising awareness of Headcase.
She has also been interviewed by some of the BBC School Reporters in the run up to her relay leg. Here she is with her class mates from The Bramcote Park Business & Enterprise School.
1148: Here's Adam Crump who is the Commanding Officer of Nottingham Sea Cadets. He is in charge overall for the welfare and well being of all of the cadets on board the unit. His basic commitment is four hours each week, but Adam's dedication means that he is present at events most weekends as well.
Some of his sea cadets are running alongside as Adam runs up this hill. Well they don't call this part of the world the Peak District for nothing!
1154: It looks like the whole village of Glapwell turned out to see the torch. Now the flame goes back into the lantern and we're heading for Bolsover. Wonder if the town's fiery MP Dennis Skinner will be on the streets to watch the flame go by?
1159: A big cheer for the first Bolsover torchbearer, Kaylet Smedley. She has been the chairperson of the Derbyshire branch of the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research Fund since 1968.
Under Kaylet's leadership the Derbyshire branch has raised over £1,000,000 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma research. She has glaucoma which affects her eyesight and her level of vision varies depending upon light conditions.
Earlier we were concerned about the weather here but Exposure 2012 tweeted us "@BBC2012 don't worry about the #weather in #Derbyshire, it didn't rain for Elton John, it won't rain for #DerbysTorch"
Well if Sir Elton can have a Candle in the Wind then hopefully the torch will survive without a downpour.
1204: Some spectators have clearly made an effort - is that a tall and slightly stubbly Britannia we spy in the crowd?
1206: Here's Shaun Brailsford, 12, who has moderate learning difficulties. His nomination says: "He always tries his best and is enthusiastic and keen to learn and to succeed. He is a very polite boy and has a caring and friendly attitude towards his peers."
A lovely big wave and grin from Shaun as he runs down the hill with the flame.
1209: David Raizada set up and runs The Youth of Barlborough Club - which is in an area of Bolsover. In the six years since the project started, almost 500 different young people have attended. He has also secured funding for three paid qualified youth workers.
Screams, shouts and whistles from the crowd as David jogs by with the torch.
1213: Matt Greenwood is a volunteer coach for a swimming club in Retford, spending 3-4 hours each week teaching younger children to swim and coaching the older swimmers. He was one of the youngest people in the country to gain the ASA Level 2 Teaching award and is currently studying to become a Level 3 Coach.
Party poppers filled with glitter are released as Matt runs by.
1216: We're having picture problems due to the 3G network but superbike racer Jon Kirkham has the flame now.
1219: Jon passes the flame to Michele Harrop who is Head Coach of Worksop Harriers athletics club. She says: "I encouage all athletes to strive to improve their own performance to run faster throw further jup higher or longer but most of all they have to enjoy the sport as without enjoyment of the sport they fail to continue"
1224: Matthew Jefferson has been involved in many sports since he was six years old, representing Derbyshire in tennis and his school in basketball and athletics. A shoulder injury at the age of 19 ended his playing career. But overcoming the disappointment, he diverted his energies into coaching.
Bolsover Castle towers over the relay high on the hill above the town.
1227: And Matthew is powering up another hill right now, today's torchbearers need to be fit! Then the flame hops back onto the bus for its trip to Calow.
1231: While we're on the way there, have a look at some of the pictures from this morning as the relay wound its way from Nottingham Castle to Derbyshire
1233: And we can confirm that the runner at 1216 in Bolsover was superbike racer Jon Kirkham who swapped two wheels for two legs.
1236: First with the flame in Calow is Samantha Clift. Huge screams of support for Samantha here and everyone in the whole village seems to have a flag in their hands. A brass band is playing too - what a welcome!
1242: It's Jubilympics time here as people are decked out in English and Union Jack flags with one chap sporting an entire flag suit
1243: When Hollie Ross was nominated to be a torchbearer, she was hoping to graduate as a nurse in 2012. She says: "I love to help people get back on their feet and feel good about themselves."
"Go on Hollie," shouts a man in the crowd and she waves and smiles.
While studying, Hollie and her running partner Jess teamed together to run at least one event a month in aid of Macmillan Nurses and to help in the development of a local Maggies centre.
1247: That's either a verrry tall police officer or the stiltwalkers are out as Katy Wilson starts her run. The 16-year-old has cystic fibrosis but despite that she plays tennis every day. She is the county number one in the under-16s and has represented Derbyshire in all age groups.
1248: The relay moves to one side to let an ambulance through in the other direction
1249: Adam Gouldson served in the army for five years, going to Northern Ireland twice and Afghanistan. when he left he became a firefighter and has risked his life to save others on a number of occasions.
In recent years, the father of two was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, which has cost him the sight in one eye. His nomination says: "This hit us hard as a family but Adam just gets up and gets on with it and helps us and others to deal with and understand it."
A huge banner reading "RUN RUN ADAM" is held up as he goes by.
1252: Adam passes the flame to Paul Staniforth who has been teaching children martial arts in Chesterfield for over 20 years.
1255: A big smile from Oliver Hooper who has logged over 2,500 hours of volunteering in the last few years giving his time to a multitude of sports related projects. He volunteers on the youth panel for the 2012 Games, the England netball advisory Youth Group and has been a member of the young ambassador steering group for Youth Sport Trust.
1300: The next torchbearer Harry Townsend is a Gold Young Ambassador for the 2012 Games. He promotes sport to young people by organising and supporting sports events through his chairmanship of the Southwolds School Sports Council in Rushcliffe.
1304: Grant Barker is bringing the flame down towards the centre of Chesterfield now where we may catch a glimpse of the town's famous crooked spire.
Thanks to Jim Cantrell who got in touch with us on Facebook to tell us about the legend surrounding it.
Jim says: "How did the spire of St Marys and All Saints church become twisted? Legend has it a powerful magician persuaded a Bolsover blacksmith to shoe the Devil. The blacksmith, however drove a nail into the Devil's foot. Howling with rage, the Devil took flight towards Chesterfield. Skimming over the Church, he lashed out in agony, caught the spire and twisted it out of shape."
A more prosaic explanation from Visit Derbyshire is that the spire was built from green timber and twisted when 32 tons of lead tiles were placed on top - enough to bend anyone's back!
1306: Here's Celeste Houlker with the torch. The Londoner is only 21 but is editor of Live magazine. She is responsible for four issues a year and often has to deal with issues around social mobility and young offenders.
1308: And there's the twisted spire up ahead! See entry at 1304 for the legend.
1309: 15-year-old keen actress Olivia Ford from Dronfield was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at six weeks old and has developed diabetes and liver disease since then. She is currently taking over 60 tablets a day and is on a insulin pump but it hasn't stop her in her tracks to becoming a star - having already appeared in BBC One show Waterloo Road.
The centre of Chesterfield is packed and Olivia is waving and punching the air.
1312: Kate Lord qualified as an original member of the Derbyshire Derventio Excel squad for elite swimming training, as a 10 year old. However when she was 13 years old she contracted glandular fever which affected her immune system and has had to see hospital consultants for five years.
She was unable to get back to peak performance and no longer qualifies for the Excel squad, but she did not give up swimming and has worked voluntarily for a Children's Holiday Centre and as a pool lifeguard.
1320: Olympian Colin Jackson is among the people waiting for the torch in Derby, where he and Greg Rutherford will be demonstrating how to long jump - in a shopping centre.
"We will be showing some of the youngsters what it takes to be an Olympian," Colin told BBC Radio Derby.
"They will look at him [Greg] and think 'Wow, I want to be like that'."
1322: Next up is George Marriott who was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour and also suffered from hydrocephalus, commonly known as "fluid on the brain". He has undergone intensive treatment at Sheffield Children's Hospita has raised over £10,000 to support the work of the hospital.
1326: He hands the flame to Molly Mee - a child carer for her sister Megan who is autistic. Her nomination says: "All her life she has been by her side guiding her through play centres and communicating her needs to others. Molly unlike other teenages takes it all in her stride, claiming she knows no other way and it makes her a stronger person."
1328: Up next is teenage swimming sensation Joel Knight from Potter's Bar, who is Britain's fastest ever 15-year-old in the 1500m freestyle.
1340: Kate Beer, 73, threw discus at schools county level and in 1954 saw Roger Bannister break the 4-minute mile in Oxford. In 1961 she became British Ladies Judo Champion. Apart from sport, Kate's other passion is drama and has spent the last 30 years running "Scene" (National Association of Drama with the Visually Handicapped). In 1998 Kate had a stroke but has almost entirely recovered and attends weekly keep fit classes.
1350: The flame has now been put into a lantern and is heading to the spa town of Matlock. While we're waiting for it to arrive why not check out a selection of pictures from the day's relay.
1401: BBC Radio Derby's Matt Barlow is waiting for the torch at Highfields School, Matlock, where the team will have its lunch break.
Matt says: "For the last few minutes the excitement has been building here. The school is packed with excited children here who have already had their own mini Olympics just up the sports field there."
1404: British gymnast Dominick Cunningham is now with the flame. At last year's Commonwealth Youth Games he was the most successful gymnast, taking home two golds, a silver and a bronze.
He takes off waving and jogging with his torch.
1406: People are running along beside him, not only taking his picture, but pictures of the media vehicles.
1407: The flame will now be taken to the school, where there will be a lunch break. The relay is due to resume at 14:40 BST.
This afternoon it is due to visit Chatsworth House in Bakewell. The stately house is the seat of the Duke of Devonshire, and has been home to the Cavendish family since 1549.
It will then go to Buxton and Ashbourne before finishing in Derby tonight.
While the weather hasn't been causing problems such as yesterday, when the relay was halted by lightning, it's not gone smoothly everywhere.
Paul Hollingworth Tweeted a picture of an injury to his head after a rogue gazebo flew into him.
Stay safe out there kids.
1418: And with that, it's goodbye for now from Jenny Minard and Christine Jeavans. Your torch relay live text writers for this afternoon are Sarah Holt and Jane Mower.
1436: The BBC's Anthony Bartram is waiting at the Heights of Abraham where the torch is heading. He said: "The torch has been off-road before - but not with a view like this."
1440: After impressing the children at Highfields School with backflips Dominick Cunningham said: "All the kids were cheering. I was waiting to get out there. I added a few backflips.
"It was a wicked atmosphere.
"I'm hopefully going to get to the 2016 Olympics. This has made me want to do even more gymnastics and hopefully get further and further on."
But his role in this year's Olympics isn't over yet.
"I've got to go to the Heights of Abraham and I'm leaning out of the window with it so I've got another one to do," he says.
1445: Looks like the torch relay convoy vehicles are ready to go. All we need now is a torchbearer.
1448: And here he is. Michael Turton, 46, raises money for varies charities through cycling and running and has completed the John O'Groats to Lands End route twice as well as a 40-mile run from Keswick to Barrow.
1450: After a swift stint he hands over to Scott. If he had the choice, Alfreton's Scott Hookway would probably pedal with the the Olympic flame. The 12-year-old is mad about cycling and dreams of one day competing in the Olympic Games or wearing a yellow jersey in the Tour de France. He also wants to become a coach when he's older to encourage other children to take up cycling.
1455: Next with the torch is Kate Dewhirst, who started playing the Paralympic sport of boccia two years' ago. She is now captain of a pan-disability team that plays in the regional league. The 15-year-old has also taken a leadership course so she can encourage others to get into boccia.
1500: Giving Kate a big kiss as they exchange the flame is Pip. This stretch shouldn't present any mountainous problems for Pip Leach. The 50-year-old has run the Everest marathon - the highest marathon in the world - where she came third as well as raising money fo two charities.
1502: There are large crowds here in Matlock are they are giving Pip a great welcome.
1504: Running alongside Robert Wells, and being guided by the torch security team, are a boy and a girl who may well be his children. They are having a ball, and so is Robert.
They are doing well to keep the pace and have a "family" photo at the end of the stint.
1508: Next stop for the torch relay is the town of Darley Dale in the heart of the Derwent Valley. Fans of etymology, we can tell you that Darley is said to derive from an Anglo Saxon phrase meaning a clearing frequented by animals. So keep your eyes out for any wildlife on this stage of the relay!
1513: A lovely piece is being played by a band to welcome the torch to Darley Dale where Ben Hope gets proceedings under way.
Ben has been nominated by Buxton Park Bowling Club. The 17-year-old regularly cycled across England before repeating the trip in Scotland to raise funds for the club. He also had the idea of a family fun day to raise money for the neonatal intensive care unit. He also plays rugby and takes part in triathlons and plans to join the local mountain rescue team.
1516: Nottingham's Helen Hopkinson has the flame now. Helen's family has been affected by cancer and that has prompted her to volunteer for Cancer Research, Marie Curie and CLIC Sargent charities. In 2010 Helen also became a campaign ambassador for Cancer Research and worked with her local MP and media.
1521: The last torchbearer before the flame is popped back into the lantern for the trip to Chatsworth House is Katy Marshall. Her fundraising adventures include dressing up as Tombraider heroine Lara Croft and an all-day cycle ride to raise money for her local ladies football team.
1533: The Olympic flame is calling into the serene surroundings of Chatsworth House next. The stately house is the seat of the Duke of Devonshire, and has been home to the Cavendish family since 1549.
You might have seen it in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley, where it stood in for Mr Darcy's home Pemberley.
Chatsworth has been making a day of the torch relay's visit with plans for fencing and gymnastics demonstrations before the torch arrives on the South lawn. The Olympic flame then crosses into the garden - hopefully it won't get lost in the maze - before heading to the Bastion wall.
1537: We're arrived at the house now, people are lined up against the wooden fences, the grass is gently blowing in the breeze and the grand, main body of the house is now also in view. Katy Marshall, who we last saw in Darley Dale, is going to carry the flame again here.
1550: So the Olympic flame is going to mark its visit to Chatsworth House by having its photo. Then, the torch relay team are having a tea break before heading on into Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne and Derby.
Here at Torch Relay HQ we'd have voted for a tea-and-cake break in Bakewell, home of the famous Bakewell tart, a shortcrust pastry shell filled with jam and an almond sponge. Mmmm.
1554: Should you know of any other local delicacies on today's torch relay then do let us know via Twitter @bbc2012.
And if you want to say hello and let us know if you plan to head out to watch the relay later today then tweet or get in touch using the Get Involved buttons below.
1604: Earlier this afternoon, gymnast Dominick Cunningham was treated to a great view as he held the flame aloft from a cable car as he travelled up to the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath.
1614: We're on the move again, as the torch relay wends its way through the acres of the Chatsworth House estate, past people lined up along the side of the exit road.
Kate Dewhirst returns for a second stint with the torch as she carries the Olympic flame along the road and over the bridge. The public parkland here runs alongside the River Derwent.
1626: You may think a house is an inanimate object but Chatsworth House has just tweeted: "That was fantastic! The torch relay has just left us and is heading to Bakewell."
It's also posted this photo of Ben Hope with the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, owners of the country pile.
1630: The torch relay has arrived in Bakewell, home to not only delicious Bakewell tarts but puddings too.
We can expect our next torchbearer Fiona Donnelly to quickly get in the swim of things. The 17-year-old has twice represented Britain at the European junior swimming championships and is the Scottish age group record holder in several events. Like most dedicated athletes, Fiona forgoes much of her social life, missing out on parties, school trips and social events to plug away with her training.
1633: A very, very safe pair of hands for the Olympic flame next as Manchester City Ladies reserve goalkeeper Alex Brooks takes the torch. The 17-year-old, who has also turned out for England juniors, also spends her time volunteering with young people in Wythenshawe. She hopes to be a P.E. teacher when she hangs up her goalkeeping gloves.
1636: There's some good support in Bakewell, where the sun has handily come out too.
Clare Illing has the Olympic flame now. The 77-year-old was nominated by her daughter to carry the flame. She's been at the centre of Etwall community life for 50 years, supporting many local clubs and fundraising projects. As a member of the Women's Institute she set up a Produce Guild promoting healthy cooking and eating. In 1970 she used the Derbyshire tradition of well dressing to raise funds to build a school swimming pool and has continued to promote the local custom to raise money for charity.
In retirement she has had a heart operation, two hip replacements, a stroke and a liver transplant and has used these experiences to set up support groups.
1640: It's a steady-paced leg from Clare, who's walking with a stick. A few people are keeping pace with Clare, with one chap pushing his bike along and another walking his dog. One voice from the crowd shouts, "Don't tell the boss!" A sneaky early finish to a Friday afternoon to watch the torch? How many of you have done that?!
1644: A green-clad town crier is walking ahead of the torch, ringing a bell and reciting from a scroll some Olympic-inspired verse, which included the lines: "A very special breed, Living a dream, A chance to compete, Yesterday's hope and desires coming true."
1645: Andrew Marriot is running now. His son George was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 10 and has undergone numerous operations and treatments.
Since then Andrew has been raising money for the Children's Hospital Charity in Sheffield, taking part in 10km runs, auctions and even a 'mini olympics'. He plays an active part in supporting other families whose children have similar illnesses. George himself completed a radio appeal that raised £500,000 for a new CT scanner.
1648: The throng of spectators has increased as the relay reaches the centre of Bakewell, although not before passing some life-size paper puppets en route.
Frances Dalrymple-Smith is walking the Olympic flame past the flag-waving crowd and a few brave people who are leaning out of their upstairs windows to watch.
She's been involved with her local swimming club since the 1970s. She has been a swimming official since the 80s and volunteered as a judge, timekeeper and referee for the last 30 years. Her main passion has been helping disabled people to learn to swim, running a swimming group for adults with disabilities for many years.
1655: The crowd thins out a bit as Frances makes her way down a street lined with pretty stone cottages. That stint brings an end to the torch relay's visit to Bakewell, next up Buxton, where the town's famous water can be sampled at St Ann's Well.
Buxton became famous as a spa town because of the pale blue water which rises from a subterreanean reservoir and bubbles up through thermal springs.
1707: Hello to Luke Greavesy, who has his weekend sorted out thanks to the Olympic torch relay. He says on Facebook: "Been looking forward to the torchcam after a long hard week's work at school. Now for 2 days of relaxation and watching peoples dreams come true:)"
1714: We're in Buxton. As the convoy passes, a man from the crowd asks "What did you think was going to come out of there?" Happily the answer is the Olympic flame and the torch relay is under way again.
1715: Teenager Robert Abraham has the Olympic flame now. He has a condition called achondroplasia, which is a common cause of dwarfism.
Robert is a national swimmer and national athlete who is ranked fifth in his category for shot and sevnth for discus in the country.
1718: Next up is Jason Bromley, a self-care coordinator in the health improvement service. In his free time he runs Cycle Club Oldham, Performance Plaza and Pink Triangle Theatre.
Jason has a spring in his step as he holds the torch aloft, and waves to the crowd packing the pavements.
1723: Despite suffering from health problems from an early age, Imogen Clark has become a member of the Derbyshire elite swimming squad.
The 13-year-old has overcome severe eczema and asthma to set a new record for her age in the 50m freestyle - a record that was previously held by double Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington.
She's carrying the flame now. She has just passed a little girl wearing an Olympic-style medal, the Railway pub and a group of people perched on some stone steps.
Hello to Sophie Nocton on Twitter, who says; "Watching the @TheTorch in my home town! Wow! Thanks @BBC2012 for the coverage!"
1725: Andy Steel starts his stint to screams of excitement from the Buxton crowd. Nine years ago, he stepped in to save his local football club, taking his coaching qualifications so he could run the team and then becoming secretary and fundraiser. In the last five years he has raised over £5,000 for the club and for charities.
1729: The torch is passing Buxton Opera House, which will host eight operas next month during the 34th Buxton Festival.
1731: Our next torchbearer should be a familiar face to those watching in Buxton. Bill Weston was made an MBE for his outstanding contribution to the community of Buxton in Derbyshire. For 15 years he was Buxton's town crier and chairman of High Peak Mayoral Charities committee.
He also founded the Billerettes, a majorette troupe that has become internationally successful and performed in excess of 1000 events.
He's enjoying his leg so far, mixing some high kicks with a twirl while holding both arms aloft as he soaks up the cheers.
1735: Wisely Bill has eased up on his exuberance for this uphill stretch before passing the Olympic flame on to Alexander McCann, who runs all-ages gigs in Manchester.
1738: Derby's Maxine Smith has the torch now. After surviving cancer - and having a baby whilst undergoing chemotherapy - Maxine has raised money for cancer charities and has set up a cancer awareness campaign.
Maxine sets about her relay leg with a big smile, and continues her leg in similar cheery spirits.
1743: David Denton, 71, has the Olympic flame now. His nomination says they were inspired to emulate him by organising fell races and other sporting events.
David has also dedicated his free time to raising money for charity, particulary in the areas of education and health projects in India.
1744: David has completed his leg. The flame is transfered to a lantern and the relay sets off - with a final burst of Buxton cheers in the background - to Ashbourne.
1752: Crowds have been enjoying the sunshine as they await the torch's arrival in Derby's Darley Park where the evening celebrations are being held.
1755: Next on the torch trail is Ashbourne - described as one of Derbyshire's finest old market towns, with a cobbled market place and a medieval street plan.
A colourful slice of the town's history came in 1832 when Princess Victoria - later to become Queen - passed through the town and took a comfort break at the Green Man inn.
The relay team may feel "we are not amused" should a torchbearer have to make a similar stop this evening.
1758: BBC Derby's Chris Doidge is at the city's traffic control headquarters which is warning of delays on the A38 at Markeaton island from about 18.15. They say traffic could back up a mile every two minutes if it's a typical Friday.
1800: 3G coverage here is a bit patchy so bear with us. The torch is due in Ashbourne in a few minutes.
1802: And this is what it looks like up ahead.
1814: The flame has arrived in Ashbourne and Megan Mosedale receives a fanfare as she begins her leg.
The 14-year-old, who is in her hometown, recently completed a sponsored swim for Diabetes UK, swimming 42 lengths and raising over £200.
As well as diabetes, Megan has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and is a ceoliac. But she "eagerly participates in 'alternative' P.E. sessions with Special Needs children from other schools, helping those who struggle and always making new friends".
1816: As Megan walks through the crowd, several people hold aloft what appear to be basketballs, the loyal mayor looks like he's come out too and there's a tooting of plastic horns too. All very lively.
1818: DJ Martin Handley has the Olympic flame now. He's helped organise a a club night, auction and coast-to-coast cycle ride to raise money for the Derbyshire Air Ambulance. The service was involved in helping his seven-year-old son Luke who died after being involved in a car crash in Derbyshire. Luke's mother survived the accident.
1820: Martin is walking under streams of bunting and there are cheers of "Martin, Martin" as well more horn-tooting and whistle-blowing. The Olympic flame, in a frenzy of cheers, passes to Jason Sarginson.
Jason travels across Stoke-on-Trent to get more youngsters involved in sport. At present he is working for Port Vale football club.
1825: Hurray! We have an explanation for the balls that were being held aloft in Ashbourne. They were shrovetide footballs, and here is a picture from our BBC colleague. You can read more about the Shrovetide football tradition here.
1828: The torch relay has left Ashbourne behind and its heading to its final destination in Derby.
1837: The city of Derby grew up from its origins as a Roman fort with the name said to derive from a Danish word for deer settlement. The most famous animals in Derby now are arguably the Rams, the nickname for local football team Derby County. If you find yourself in Derby, you need not go thirsty as the city has 33 breweries!
1842: Derby dancer Daniel Longhurst kicks off the relay through his home city.
There's no fancy foot-work from the 15-year-old so far but he's setting a decent pace as he makes his way through rows of flags being waved by spectators.
1846: The Olympic flame continues its journey through Derby in the hands of NHS health trainer Pippa Goodwin.
The 47-year-old used her own money to become a Nordic walking instructor for the benefit of clients and NHS staff. Since then she's encouraged staff from a number of hospitals across Derbyshire to learn how to become proficient in the sport and uses her lunch breaks and evenings to organise and lead walks. She has also competed in the Robin Hood half marathon as part of the Nordic Walking Team.
1849: We have a Paralympic gold medal hopeful taking the torch now. Loughborough-based discus thrower Dan Greaves is up next. Dan was born with a deformity in both feet but only realised late on in his athletics career that he could compete in the Paralympics.
Dan, 29, won the F44 discus event at the Athens 2004 Games and is keen to reclaim the title of Paralympic Champion at London 2012. Since Athens he has won the bronze medal at the Beijing Paralympics in 2008 and the gold at the IPC World Championships for the last two years - last month setting a new world record with a distance of 59.27m.
1854: Derby's Kya-layna Mackay has the torch now and she's running in some lovely evening sunshine. The 15-year-old is an active member of the Derby City Children in Care Council and has represented the views of the Derby City's children and young people in care at both regional and national level.
1857: An opportunity for photos arise as Richard Campbell pauses before beginning his relay leg. The crowd lean forward with their cameras and smartphones to grab a snap or two. The party atmosphere is building in Derby with the obligatory soundtrack of whistles and horns being joined by the throb of dance music.
1858: By the way there's a special programme coming from Derby tonight in which you'll be able to see former World Superbike champion James Toseland light the cauldron. We'll try and bring you pictures of James and the cauldron on the livestream but the programme will be available to watch on the iPlayer.
1901: Nigel Howe is next up with the flame and he sets his leg off to cheers, and the odd ear-piercing scream. It's a scenic stretch for Nigel, who takes the flame past Derby cathedral.
1903: There's lots of support for our next torchbearer, who sets off to shouts of "Come on George!"
He may only be 15 but George Coppen has already competed in four World Dwarf Games! George was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, and when he was six he had metal rods inserted in his back which has limited his mobility. Despite that, George competes in table tennis, hockey and boccia and has recently taken up wheelchair basketball.
1905: Great crowd interaction from George here. He's waving and urging them to make more noise too. And he's got a big grin going on too.
1909: There's a thumbs-up for George from our next torchbearer Joe Walsh. He was nominated by his brother for his work with Dogs for the Disabled. He has dedicated much of his time to promoting the charity which helps disabled people increase their independence by training specially selected dogs to live and work with them.
1910: The huge support continues in Derby city centre. The crowd are waving flags, homemade torches and balloons as well as cheering, whooping and screaming. Good work.
1911: It's a happy birthday for Deborah Watkins, who takes hold of the torch and promptly jumps for joy before setting off on her leg to a chorus of "Happy Birthday To You."
Deborah is always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in her neighbourhood who needs it.
1916: Olympic boxer Donald Scott has enlisted the help of his daughter for his stint with the torch. Donald, who has Parkinson's disease, won a silver medal in the last Games to be held in London. He made it to the light-heavyweight final in 1948 but lost out on the top prize to South African George Hunter.
1917: There was a big grin from Donald when the torch was fitted to the side of his wheelchair and he's now waving to the crowd on his stint around Derby.
1922: Matlock's Sarah Needham has the flame now and the 15-year-old is jogging along nicely to chants of "Sarah, Sarah." She provides mentoring support and inspiration to many young children in the Derbyshire Dales area encouraging them to participate in all types of sport.
1924: Carrying the flame on behalf of all the staff and pupils at Wales High School, Kiveton Park, South Yorkshire, is Lawrence Morton who has been head teacher there for 22 years. Apparently an unusually high number of pupils have gone on to excel in their chosen field such as sport, drama, academia, music and business including James Toseland who we'll soon see light the cauldron.
1927: Just to give you a little heads up, we're hoping to switch the livestream so that you can see the former World Superbike champion James Toseland light the cauldron. It'll be fun to see if he turns up wearing his leathers!
1928: Hello to Jennifer Schmidt on Twitter who has got in touch to say: "@BBC2012 so cool to watch a previous London Games winner (1948!) carrying the torch today. Good for him! #BBCtorchcam."
1928: Derby's Steve Pateman has the torch now. His attempt to jog backwards with the flame was not only daring but it also got the thumbs down from the security team and he's facing front again.
1931: James Toseland has the flame now and we've switched to bring you the live pictures of him lighting the cauldron on the livestream. The Doncaster-born local is the former World Superbike Champion.
1932: There's a packed crowd in Darley Park to welcome the motorbiking maestro. He's just run past soldiers of the Mercian regiment and is on stage now.
1934: And with a dip of his torch, James Toseland has lit the cauldron in front of a huge audience.
BBC pundit and former world champion hurdler Colin Jackson says he's "very proud to be in Derby on this marvellous night."
But will Colin stay around for the party in the park, where singer Loick Essien is performing along with the Landau Forte Youth Theatre and the Derby Today performers.
1941: So it's goodnight from Derby, and cheerio from torch relay HQ in London. The relay begins bright and early in Derby on Saturday at 06:50 BST and calls in to Burton-upon-Trent, Tamworth, Wolverhampton, Dudley, West Bromwich and Smethwick before ending the day in Birmingham. Until then...
