0620: Good morning and welcome to day 48 of the torch relay.
Today the torch is off to Ipswich from its starting point at Norwich Castle this morning.
On the way it will take in the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, taking in the haunts of Benjamin Britten.
Your writers are Jenny Minard and Claire Heald.
0624: The torch is being driven to the Castle in convoy now, for the start of the relay, just after 06:30 BST.
0638: Lovely view of the castle there with blue sky behind - and guess what? It's not even raining on the torch relay this morning.
Remember, you can get in touch with us using the twitter, facebook and text details below. See the travel news for the area below the map.
And see if it will rain later on the route, by hovering over the destination points along the map.
0644: The torch has been "off piste" this morning, paying a visit to Hethersett, where villagers have organised more Olympic-themed events per head than any other village, town or city in the UK.
BBC Radio Norfolk reports that crowds at Hethersett High School were 10-deep around the playing field earlier, as the town received the Olympic flame to mark its "outstanding contribution" to the London 2012 Games.
0646: Hello to Kevin Rouse on Facebook who says: "Good morning torchcam and fellow torchcam addicts. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a rain free day."
Tracy Mayne says: "It's going to be a great day, beautiful weather here on the East Coast to welcome the flame to the most easterly point in Britain. Can't wait."
0648: There's somebody up on top of the castle with a torch - we expect it to be GB swimmer Giles Long, who had to overcome a bone tumour to represent his country at the highest level.
He won the Paralympic 100 metre butterfly gold medal, at Sydney 2000.
0649: Streamers released from the top of the castle there. It's before 07:00 BST, but never too early for a torch party.
0653: Looks like the torch is posing for just one more photo before we are off.
0656: And we're off, to a big "whooo", Giles is jogging through the streets of Norwich.
Someone's got a brolly up there - but, we repeat, it's not raining today.
The torch's trip along the coastline, taking in some of the big resorts of this part of East Anglia, and riding on a speed boat, may happen in the dry.
0659: The torch breaks off here from the cameras, which are going via another route, as Connie Adam, 84, who started fencing when she retired at 60, takes the torch.
She has travelled all over the world with fencing, competing in USA, Canada, Moscow, Australia and Europe. She represented Great Britain many times. She has said that she'd give up once she'd won 100 medals or was 100 years old.
0704: What better way to start the morning than a trip on the river? The torch is heading for a quick trip on a rowing boat here. We will bring you the pictures that we can as it passes downstream.
This is the River Wensum, and the local rowing club, and the Norwich Philharmonic, are keeping the flame company here, on and off the water.
Good morning to Sammie who tweets: "Sat in the village waiting to see the torch come through because I'm a saddo and decided to see it again even though I saw it last nite."
We certainly don't think you're a "saddo" Sammie.
0718: And here it comes, off the rowing boat and back on to the roads in Norwich, carried by torchbearer Elizabeth Carpenter.
0722: Even though you couldn't see it when it went to on the River Wensum... BBC reporters on the ground were there to give us all the gossip.
Presenter Wally Webb followed the torch as it headed away from the river. "The choir was superb," he says. "They were singing Rule Britannia and someone unfurled a huge Union Jack.
"Everyone's caught up with the atmosphere here - it's a special occasion - you just can't deny that and the crowds are testament to that!"
"It was amazing," shouted a little boy in a strong American accent - just one of hundreds of excited children lining the banks of the river.
0723: The torch is passed now to Susan Knights, who has helped to raise £1,000,000 to provide new accommodation for homeless young people at the YMCA in Norwich.
Three times a year she gathers together a group of people to sleep for a night on the streets of Norwich to raise both money and awareness of this problem.
Gorgeous morning here - and it looks like its made a real difference to the crowds who are out.
Here is a picture of Elizabeth who carried the flame from the rowing boat, thanks to Simon Shirley who is up early on Twitter.
0728: On to Sean Harris, who has been raising money for Cancer Research UK since his grandmother was diagnosed with the disease.
He did a 10-day solo cycle trip in which he flew to Zurich and then cycled from Zurich to the Hook of Holland.
We can hear one young lady shout "blow it out". That might take quite a puff of air - the torch withstands wind gusts of up to 50mph.
0729: BBC Radio Norfolk reporter Thordis Fridriksson is still down by the river, where it looks people are making the most of the weather.
"I'm surrounded by bacon rolls here near the river," he says.
"Actually, people are being really cruel - they're bringing bacon rolls up to my nose making me sniff them!"
0730: Frances Rayner is an active sportswoman and has ran the London Marathon twice - just 300m today.
She has taken on the voluntary role as Village Games Sports Coordinator in Downham Market through Active Norfolk.
Wow, look at this picture. Norwich City Council tweets this saying: "Olympic torch leaves Norwich, the five Olympic colours trailed down the castle walls by abseilers."
0734: Roger Hadley has the torch now.
He is the founder of Norwich Door to Door, a voluntary organisation and charity formed in 1992.
The charity supports 500 severely disabled children, adults and older people with mobility problems who are unable to leave their own homes without specialist care and assistance.
A big hello to Lou Hunt who tweets "Watching the torchcam on BBC, lots of people up early in Norwich today. Love reading the stories of the torchbearers."
Mark Peter Reed says: "So proud that the torch will come to Brentwood tomorrow. We hope to give it the best welcome! Celebrating our history! Love Brentwood."
0739: We can hear lots of children asking whether they're waiting for the Queen this morning?
Either they're used to seeing the famous resident of Norfolk estate Sandringham turning up. Or they are muddling up their Olympics and Jubilee - for a Twenty Twelve-style Jubilympics.
0740: This is Lisa-Jane Weston, who has helped look after her three sisters while her mum has had cancer.
Her manager at work says: "She is amazing for overcoming significant adversity in her personal life, supporting her family through a very difficult period while still showing the highest commitment to her work."
0742: A safe pair of hands here for the torch, surely, as lollypop lady Ena Mallett takes up her torch.
She has worked at South Walsham Fairhaven Primary School for 27 years. Every year she also trains the school children for cycle profiency and, away from school, Ena is trained as a spirit combat jujitsu instructor.
0750: We can't deduce from the Metropolitan Police force Torch Security Team facebook page, exactly which police officer is in charge of lighting torchbearers flames this morning.
But we can see, that on the left of the screen, guarding the torch's right side is PC John Collins.
He has been keeping the crowds back and turning the torchbearers around so that snappers can take the best photos of the relay.
0753: Off in convoy for 10 minutes now. To Acle.
The town alongside part of the famous waterways of Norfolk, the Broads. And Acle means oak lea - a clearing of oaks. It was a port in Roman times and appears in the Domesday book.
Its church has an unusual round tower.
0807: First to run here in Acle will be Natalie Bradley, who has cystic fibrosis but has also been involved in the local gymnastics group since she was five and has danced in many theatres in London and in Disneyland Paris.
0808: Hello to Katy Fagge who says on Facebook: "Good morning! A great crowd [in Norwich] despite the early start and a wonderful send-off to the torch. A simply amazing experience, thank you!"
Melonie Pickering says: "Morning everyone. Nice to see its not raining on the runner at the moment. Fingers crossed it stays that way for a while!"
Don't forget you can also Tweet us @bbc2012.
0808: What a difference a sunny day makes - to the crowd numbers, to the wide smiles on the torchbearers' faces - and to the torch security team, who now have their regulation matching sunglasses set to on!
0810: Funky fist-bump there from the ladies, as Natalie hands the flame over to Victoria Simmonds.
0812: All those shouts of "Hello Queen!" noted earlier have an explanation - the driver of the torchcam bus is wearing a Queen mask.
The torch is held high by Brian Carr now.
0822: Off to Filby in convoy now. The parish is apparently named after viking File the Dane, who settled around these parts in 800AD.
0827: Taking on torchbearing duties now is Alice Brown, 79, who contracted polio while at PE college and in 1981 started a swimming club for disabled people encouraging them to have a go.
She has entered the one hour Postal Swim every year and swims a mile using arms only. She has won fourteen gold medals.
0831: Radio Norfolk's Nicky Price says: "Every place we go to the crowds just get bigger and bigger - and it's no different here.
"Betty's making the most of it as she grips the torch tightly and waves to everyone.
"And, as expected, there's bunting and hanging baskets everywhere in this village. There's a real community spirit here."
0833: Yesterday we had a rabbit... today we have a pony watching the relay.
0834: This is Margaret O'Byrne who has been a foster parent for the past 15 years. She also volunteers as a school governor and as a youth leader.
0836: Morning to Brian MacElwee on Facebook who says morning to us all the way from Canada.
0837: Ron Marsh, 68, is up next. He coaches school children in athletics. He helps out at school for childre with special needs, even fundraising for new equiptment. He is Head Coach of Wymondham A.C. UK Athletics Club and had a hip replacement two years ago.
These were the crowds in Acle, where the flame went to earlier this morning. Perhaps the sunny weather has something to do with it.
0841: Looks like a little kiss there for Ron as a lady runs out to greet him.
0842: The flame is now being popped into the lantern and taken to the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth.
0843: While we're waiting for the flame to get to the seaside, why not check out where it's going for the rest of the day.
Tell us, did you used to go to British beaches for your holidays? Do you still go? Tweet us @bbc2012 or go to our Facebook page and join in the fun. Ice cream anyone?
0849: Looks like the torch team is going to be taking a tea break. We wonder whether we'll see anyone dunking their biscuits like we did yesterday.
They are very lucky, here at torch towers we've run out of teabags - we will have to send one of the team on a shop run.
0851: Radio Norfolk's Andrew Turner is talking to some of the people in the centre of Yarmouth.
"Happy days, beautiful weather - it'll never happen again in our lifetime," says one woman.
School children Michael and Melissa are also in the crowd waving their flags, but perhaps not quite sure what they're waiting for.
"Are you looking forward to this?" asks Andrew.
"Um, sort of," replies little Michael.
"Are we on TV?" asks one of their mums.
"No, live radio."
"Oh, right…"
0904: Are we nearly there yet? Well we're a little closer to the seaside as the torch relay team set off again.
Good morning to Jonathan Ringwood on Twitter who says: "Sat on an oil rig in the North Sea watching the relay go through my home town of Acle, hoping to see my wife and kids."
It was a while ago but we do hope Jonathan got to see them.
0906: The families of the scouts led by Richard Brabben have nominated him to run with the torch.
The 14th Lowestoft Scout group is the most easterly pack in England.
His nomination says that, with the other beaver, cub and scout leaders, he "has had an enormous impact on the lives of literally thousands of local youngsters".
"He gives up his time week after week, year on year. With 2012 being the group's 75th anniversary, this honour would be a wonderful and fitting tribute to Richard, the pack and the great work they do."
0908: On our topic of holidays by the sea, as we run in to Great Yarmouth, Melonie Pickering says on our facebook page "I lived in Blackpool for over 40 years before moving to South Yorkshire... and I really do miss the sea, and walking along the prom".
We'll be able to see, in the next wee while, whether Yarmouth matches up to our favourite seaside resorts.
0909: There are huge cheers for Richard as hundreds of people spill into the roads.
0910: An enthusiastic dog lunges at a torch security team member but they take it in their stride and carry on regardless.
0913: This is Laurence Casey, who overcame back and spinal problems, using them as motivation, to raise funds for charities including Richards House Children's Hospice, raising over £50,000.
0916: Reporter Nicky Price says: "It's been such an emotional experience following this torch all the way through Norfolk. I'm really not sure how I'll feel when we finally reach the end."
Meanwhile, you can barely hear BBC Radio Norfolk's Andrew Turner above the screams and yells and woops of the crowds. "You'd think the torch had already arrived. The market place has really come to life," he says.
0920: Lawrence bumps his belly with Alison Napthine who takes on the torch.
She raises money to help the MS society, after losing her mother to multiple sclerosis. And her sister also has the condition.
She has run the London Marathon and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise more than £10,000.
You can get in touch with us on Twitter or Facebook and plenty of people are up early to follow the flame.
Bee tweets that her entire school "is sat up Yarmouth Road watching the Olympic torch".
And Mick Long says: "About to start walking up town after watching torchcam (so addictive) all morning to watch the cam go past Ness Point.
"We're going to the lovely Sparrows Nest (Bellview Gardens) so we can spot squirrels while we wait for the tourch to go past. It's great to watch it bring communities together and promote the good and true stars of each village."
0927: Half nine in the morning - must be wiff waff time.
This is Louis De Mark Spinks, an "enthusiastic and charismatic" table tennis coach.
He has taken many junior players with disabilities on to national tournaments and set up the first disabled competition at the King's Lynn Table Tennis Championships.
0931: Green fingers taking up the torch here - Ellen Parfitt, 15, raises money every year with a charity plant stall.
And she helps with the school allotment.
Grow Your Own - should be an Olympic value, surely?
0933: The first fish finger was made in Great Yarmouth we are told in a feature in this morning's Guardian, which goes on to say that the town is now slowly reinventing itself.
0934: Flame throwers and BMX bikes are entertaining the crowds in the centre of Yarmouth.
"You can almost smell the excitement here. Everyone's whipped up into an absolute frenzy as the torch approaches," reports Radio Norfolk's Andrew Turner.
0937: The flame re-emerges after a brief period out of our sight.
Any nicks or scrapes on the relay today, and Robert Sanderson is on hand.
He's a volunteer emergency "first responder" and wants to train as a paramedic to serve his community.
0938: Two women lean out of a window to take a picture of our next torchbearer Lee Aldred, 31, is a Mr Motivator. He runs and plays football and cricket, and encourages his friends and family to come too.
0943: Another strong runner here - in two senses of the word - Daphne Hathaway, 76, achieves good times in her runs and marathons.
But she has also been a carer for her father, who lived to 100, her nomination says. And she cares for her husband.
All while running to raise money for charity, and dealing with cancer.
Her nomination says: "She is an inspiration to so many people, far and wide. It's not just her stoicism, her determination or her cheerfulness that make her such a remarkable lady, it's her unwillingness to let the tough circumstances she has had to deal with overwhelm her.
"Many would have buckled under the strain. Daphne is an amazing runner and an amazing person, I believe she would be an outstanding torch bearer of the Olympic flame.
0945: BBC Radio Norfolk reporter Andrew Turner in Great Yarmouth: "This has to be the biggest number of people ever here - at least 10,000 people - and here it comes - just listen to those cheers - it's deafening."
He then interviews a member of the public:
Andrew: "I can see a young girl in tears over here.
"Hello there - oh dear, has it all been really exciting and a bit emotional for you?"
"Yes, we've all seen the torch and it was good," she replies.
Her mum adds: "Yes, they've really enjoyed it. We've been here all morning waiting for it and perhaps it's just been a bit much for her."
Andrew: "This will stay with these children for the rest of their lives," he says.
0946: This is policeman Andrew Bunter, who can be seen on his beat around Gorleston and Bradwell.
He also teaches youngsters how to play the drums, and guitar, as well as playing in the church band.
0949: Whoever is tasked with taking the pictures of Andrew Coe, carrying the torch now, they had better be good.
He runs a photography company, and was the British Olympic Association's official photographer in Atlanta and Barcelona.
He's pointed out though, that he's no relation to Lord Coe!
0952: Back in the convoy now for a 15-minute journey to Lowestoft.
0953: Ahead in the next stop, Lowestoft, children from St Mary's have already lined the route, with their banners.
1004: Lowestoft's main industry used to be fishing. However by the mid-1960s less fish were being caught in the area and so the boats were put to other uses, some as service ships for the North Sea oil rigs.
The town suffered during the Second World War, because the German planes used it as a navigation point. As a result it was the most heavily bombed town per head of population in the UK, according to the Love Lowestoft website.
1005: The flame is in Lowestoft... where Lisa Marshall is the first torchbearer.
She gives her time to others through volunteering whilst studying at university - despite having had three major surgeries in the last four years. She says her long term goal is to set up a holistic service in the NHS.
1007: She sets off to clapping and cheering from the huge crowds which have turned out.
1011: Dizzy heights - the BBC's Mark Murphy interviews two stilt walkers hoping for a prime viewing position in Lowestoft.
1013: There are huge numbers of school children out in force to wave flags and take photographs.
1017: A big shout out to Tim Hughes who tweets: "My mum's carrying the Olympic torch today in recognition of years of care she's given to my dad who has severe MS."
His mum is Wendy Hughes and she'll be carrying the flame in Melton.
1018: Now we are with John Pawsey, 67, who has spent many years trying to get local communities involved in playing sport - with a particular focus on gymnastics, football and golf.
There is a hug, kiss and hand shake from outgoing torchbearer Alison Cousin, for John who does a little bum wiggle and dances off with the torch.
1020: Bob Blizzard, former MP for Waveney says: "It's amazing. I've seen some turnouts in my time, when Lowestoft Town got to Wembley or our annual carnival, but this surpasses them all."
1024: Lots of short sleeved shirts for people in the crowds today - must be warm in Lowestoft.
Elizabeth Talbot agrees. She tweets: "Bright blue sky and white fluffy clouds are preceding the Olympic torch from Lowestoft to Southwold. It really couldn't be better."
1029: And here we have 18-year-old Olympic hopeful Eddie Graver. He is a pistol shooter, who is not in the GB team for London 2012 but will be in the stands cheering on his team-mates. While represengint England he won a bronze team medal, a silver team medal and a silver individual medal.
He high-fives and jumps as he collects the flame.
1031: Colourful bunting flanked between shops here as Eddie sprints down the road.
1032: The torch relay vehicles have just split off from the runners, who are going down the High street, but will be rejoining them shortly.
1035: The torch relay bus roof camera manages to catch up with the flame as it emerges.
1036: Jackie Milton, 51 passes on the flame. She is a PE teacher at a special school and has helped support and coach some of her former learning disability pupils in athletics competitions around Europe.
1037: We're getting teary here at Torchcam towers. Perhaps it was the early start, perhaps it is Gillian Smith's nomination from her husband Alan, which says: "I know that if she was selected to be a torchbearer it would probably be the proudest time of her life and I would be the proudest husband, supported by equally proud daughter and step-children/grandchildren."
Gill is an athletics fan, who once ran for Suffolk, works for the Guides, volunteers for the air ambulance and has walked the Coast to Coast for charity.
1038: Mel from Lowestoft said the atmosphere is "very exciting".
"The Games haven't been here since 1948 so it's a big deal. The flame means so much to so many people - it's great to see."
1039: Look at that view as the sea stretches out and crowds welcome the flame.
1040: The flame is being taken to Ness Point - Britain's most easterly point.
1042: Here they come. Emerging from Ness Point is Karen Murray, whose husband Paul says she has given everything to running her charity, Hana's Gift, in memory of her stillborn daughter.
She helps to finance plaques and headstones for families and parents who have lost a child through late miscarriage, stillbirth or within the first year of their life.
He says: "I think her longing to help other people who have suffered this loss while at the same time living with the pain of losing Hana makes her so special and she is such an inspiration.
"She is my hero and I think her work with Hana's Gift sums up the very meaning of 'going the extra mile'."
1046: Adam Woods on Facebook says: "Amazing... just amazing... lucky that it was a sunny day today."
1048: This is triathlete Abbie Thorrington. Apparently, her nomination says, she "drove her parents crazy" with her energy levels, until, after swimming, cycling, running and playing football for the county one weekend, she found that triathlons were the answer.
She is based at the National Triathlon Performance centre in Loughborough and has represented GB at European Championships, World Championships, World Cups and most recently World Cup series events.
She hopes to compete at the Olympics, in support of world champion Helen Jenkins.
Louise Jenkins tweets this view from a great vantage point at Ness Point.
1053: Hopefully some of her young charges have turned out to watch Karen Booth, 47, run with the torch.
She runs two youth centres and supports five others, looking after young people in times of difficulty, excluded from school, in trouble with the law and making difficult choices.
1055: It seems that the whole of Lowestoft is out today to see the flame, just look at those crowds.
1057: This is rower Kieren Emery, 22, who won World Championship lightweight men's pair gold in 2011.
He is from the North East and learned to row at Tyne Rowing Club.
1102: There will just be a short convoy now to Wrentham, as crowds surge to follow the flame.
1103: While we're waiting for the torch to arrive in its next destination, why not have a look at a selection of pictures from today's relay?
1115: Here we are in Wrentham where Deborah Cadman has the flame.
Deborah was nominated by her friend after her sister died two years ago and she has been caring for her step son, and her mother.
She runs the local raft race committee, makes jewellery which she sells for a hospice and supports community events.
Lovely bunting and people are peering out of windows, and others are running to take photographs.
1118: Paul Sheldrake, 57, is a trailblazer for tennis and now has the flame
He set up Park Tennis, in Christchurch Park, Ipswich, a development of five new courts, raised money for free coaching and equipment for the 400 people who signed up in the first year, turning run down courts into a tennis venue.
His nomination says: "He has always believed that there are many people who might enjoy the game, or even excel at it, who simply do not have the resources to join a tennis club or to pay for lessons and coaching."
"In his own words, 'Tennis is a game for life, for everyone to enjoy, especially families. Facilities such as these, will in my opinion be the true stepping stones and future of British Tennis'."
1120: People are cheering him on and others in cars are honking their horns.
1121: Football coach James Shiplee, 20, next. His ambition is to one day help the England National Team. And he tries to inspire the young coaches around him "so that we have as many great young coaches as possible to help England and football for years to come".
1123: Torchbearer Ian Beasy has a novel idea for helping young people in his rural community.
He takes them on visits to historical places which they may not otherwise have a chance to visit and organises a regular newsletter to let the community know what they are doing for their next trip and fundraiser.
His run today will be the "cherry on top of the cake" in recognition of work, we're told.
1125: Contrast to the shouts and cheers of Wrentham, is the tranquil lane which Ian is running along. Lovely day for it.
1126: There will be a short journey to Reydon now for the flame. It was due to arrive at 11:22 BST, so it seems the relay is running a few minutes late.
1128: While we're waiting for it to be transported, have a look at the torch light show at Norfolk Castle last night.
Look at the blue sky. Georgie tweets this picture from Southwold where the flame will go to after Reydon.
1132: The flame is now in Reydon. Looks like the flame is 10 minutes late. They sometimes try to make that time back later in the day, but we'll keep you posted.
1133: If nominations were report cards, you could describe Laura Bird's as glowing.
It says: "She always tries her absolute best at everything she does and stands up for what she believes is right and inspires others to do the same."
She is a footballer, having represented England at junior level, and has been recovering from a bad car accident.
1136: Hello to Paul Truswell on Facebook who says: "Looking good in the far East (smiley face)."
It certainly is looking good as the sun breaks through the trees.
1138: Sporty torchbearer Dayle Edwards, 17, up next.
She's a ballet dancer, helps teach younger pupils, is a black belt in Karate and her hobbies include scuba diving, motocross and biking.
Plus she helps her family with her younger brother, Jude.
Youngsters chant her name as she runs along the road.
1140: This is Special Superintendent Richard Game, 37, nominated with his work as and with the Special Constabulary.
His nomination says he has contributed "endless hours" to his community over the years.
Get the tissues out for Martin Pearce who tweets: "Watching the Olympic torch in Norwich on BBC website and have never felt so proud to be British. I'm a emotional wreck today."
1146: Look at those colourful beach huts. First, a photograph will be taken of the flame on the beach in Southwold, and then there is going to be a lunch break very soon.
Wayne tweets: "Aaa! Southwold sea front, many a childhood day spent there!"
1151: Here it comes for some more torchbearing at Southwold Pier.
1152: A fellow writer here, Caroline Emeny, used to produce her parish magazine. She is on four of her village committees, has run the London and swum some water marathons and has survived bowel cancer.
We're looking for emotion from Caroline, as her nomination says she may be overcome.
1153: Aha, we have a thrill-seeker. Craig Jarvis' wife, who nominated him, says he likes to raise money doing wild and dangerous events.
He runs a local hotel, but raises money for schools and orphanages overseas and children's and hospice charities in the UK.
Horce racing, the three peaks, marathons, motorcycle races and even a jungle run are some of the events he has entered.
1156: Craig holds the flame high above his head, clearly proud to be doing his stint.
1157: On to Anne Dow, 36, whose whole family help with the Scouts, the Venture Scout division of the 11th Coventry Group, to be precise. Running holidays and weekends away, camps and theatre trips.
1158: People are waving Union flags with the words "I saw the flame" written across them.
Graeme Mac, who is on the torch bus for BBC Radio Suffolk, said: "It's been amazing that the crowd have been chanting the name of every torch bearer - they're really getting into the spirit of it."
1200: As the flame prepares to stop, Mayor Michael Ladd said: "It's a wonderful, historic day for Southwold.
"The beach huts are iconic and it's been a fantastic day."
1203: Tracy Mayne on Facebook has been out and about today. she says: "Just got home from seeing the torch at Ness Point. So proud to be part of a great event - a great turn out all over Lowestoft - you did us proud."
1204: The flame is going for a short trip now, travelling in a lantern to the lunch point.
1207: This is the last torchbearer, Holly Mrowiec, who will carry the flame to lunch.
1208: The torch team will be taking a lunch break now at St Felix Independent School.
Later on it will go to Kelsale, Saxmundham, Aldeburgh, Wickham Market, Ufford, Melton, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and Ipswich.
Pupils from Thomas Wolsey school in Ipswich are holding their own torch relay in Christchurch Park ahead of an event tonight.
Memories flooding back for Wayne: "Aaa! Southwold sea front, many a childhood day spent there!"
1222: Up ahead on the torch relay route in Aldeburgh, these bearers are waiting for their moment to carry the flame.
From left to right, they are: Theomina Welsh, Jessica Gill (in front), Ian Blatt, Sarah Corbett and Jonathan Mansfield.
1224: Tracy Mayne has been out watching the relay and tells our BBC London 2012 Facebook page: "Just got home from seeing the torch at Ness Point - the most easterly point in Britain - so proud to be part of a great event - a great turn out all over Lowestoft - you did us proud :-)"
1251: After the relay team finish their lunch break, the convoy will make the 25-minute journey to Kelsale.
During this downtime why not have a look at some of today's other 2012 content.
If you have ever wanted to go behind the scenes with Jess Ennis - here is your chance in part one of a four-part video series. In this episode watch her in winter training.
Usain Bolt has been talking to BBC 5 live - read his views here and listen to the full interview on 5 live sport's London Calling from 19:30 BST.
Great Britain have named their men's basketball squad for the Olympics - Luol Deng is one of the 12 players selected.
And BBC London transport correspondent Tom Edwards has blogged on his views about the deal which may have solved an Olympic bus strike.
1308: The convoy journey to Kelsale is under way.
1327: We're just nearing Kelsale now where sad to say the rain is coming down! After the lunch break Ian Hughes and Michael Hirst have taken up commentary duties - greetings!
Just seen the police outriders clearing a path ahead of the torch convoy. Earlier, one told BBC Radio Suffolk's Graeme Mac: "How can I go back to my regular job, after a day like this?"
Good question! Hard to believe there's just three weeks left!
1328: The first torchbearer after lunch is 13-year-old Jessica Gill who plays sport for her school and through sharinf her passion is "developing into an excellent Young Sports Leader".
1334: The flame passes from Mina Welsh to Alex O'Connor.
Mina has been an avid athletics fan since she was 15. she attended her first athletics meeting at 18 at Crystal Palace and has been going to meetings all over the world ever since.
Mina, who turns 40 this month, was diagnosed with depression two years ago and has bit by bit put her life back together and has found a way to deal with this, helped by her passion and interest in athletics.
1340: "Light it! Light it!" chant kids in the crowd as the next torchbearer Ian Blatt takes up the flame in Saxmundham.
A passionate supporter of the My Fantastic Life charity, Ian is dedicated to giving young adults with learning and physical disabilities a fair chance to be involved in activities that they would tend to be excluded from.
Since being involved in the charity Ian has helped to organise and set up a charity award ball, a week's camping away from parents and carers in Thetford Forest, and a fundraising party.
1342: The sun's out again as Lee Hale takes over, amid flurries of green streamers and Union Jack flags.
Lee is Corporal Armourer in the RAF. For the last five years he has raised money for CLIC Sargent, Cyprus Samaritans.
He is also a dedicated Samaritan giving at least 16 hours per month to be there for those that need support and help.
1344: Back into convoy mode now for a stint down the B1121 to Aldeburgh. We'll be back into torchbearing mode in about 10 minutes.
1348: Thanks for all the messages that we're receiving via social media.
Jean Bircham has been in touch on our facebook page, saying: "Fantastic coverage of the Olympic Torch Relay, Continual video/cam, texts - brilliant - thank you."
1350: If you're planning on heading out and seeing the torch, check out whether you need a brolly or sun-cream...
Hover over the green dots on the map to the left to see the forecast three days before it reaches you.
1358: Allo allo! First up after the convoy is Kelly Franco, 21, from Paris.
Having a disabled brother, Kelly believes that this relay would represent a significant life experience and a personal achievement.
At university, she set up a humanitarian association called "Les Petits Crayons" ("Little Pencils") which enables children to access education in the Algerian town of In Salah. Their ambition is to fill the municipal library (which is currently empty) with books written in French.
1400: Apologies for the sporadic loss of pictures here - there's patchy 3G coverage in this (beautiful) part of the world! We'll try and keep those technical gremlins away from #bbctorchcam.
Thanks for bearing with us.
1402: Thanks for the messages we're receiving via social media. It's good to hear from you.
If you're planning on heading out to see the flame this evening, or are keeping up with the relay action from the comfort of your desktop, give us a shout and we'll publish your messages on this page if possibe.
Tweet us @BBC2012.
1403: Over the last seven years Annie Chapman has raised £185,000 for Cancer Research UK's breast cancer research.
She has achieved this by organising an annual Ladies Tractor Road Run, where pink ladies of different ages and backgrounds drive their tractors for 20 miles around the Suffolk/Norfolk Borders raising money for breast cancer.
Just be glad she left her tractor at home!
1406: Hi to Andrew Diver who's been in touch via twitter to say: "Have to smile at @bbc2012 Apologies for sporadic loss of pictures here there's patchy 3G coverage in this (beautiful) part of the world!"
Thanks for your understanding!
1407: Keeping in tune with the torch here is Sarah Corbett who, in 2001, set up a youth choir and non-profit community theatre group for young people in Suffolk and elicited the support of professionals to work with her as volunteers, developing new musicals.
She received an award for Community Champion from the Department for Education and Skills which gave her a grant to invest in taking the group on tour in 2005, and since then, it has toured with the teenagers annually.
And there go the pictures again...
1425: And we're back, in Aldeburgh. Hit the refresh button on your window to see continuous coverage from torchcam.
1425: Running now, and going at a great pace, with lots of waves, is tennis coach Jonathan Mansfield.
1428: This is Rachel Lane, 27, who has been suffering from cancer for the past few years.
Carrying the Olympic torch is on her 'bucket list' of things to do.
"Come on Rachel," someone shouts in the crowd. She has a huge chuffed-to-bits smile on.
1431: The pictures have dropped out again, and we hope to bring them back as soon as possible.
Rachel is the last torchbearer in Aldeburgh, before the torch goes off in convoy to Wickham Market.
Helena West sends us this advice: "Shame we can only imagine how wonderful Aldeburgh looks with the torch. Stop for some fish and chips, they're fab."
1432: The torch is due in Wickham Market just after 15:00 BST.
The village's church, All Saints', is more than 700 years old, and can be seen for miles around this part of the countryside.
1437: Reporter Guy Campbell says there are more than 1,000 people gathered around Wickham's central square, waiting for the torch.
There are lots of school children and a "fantastic atmosphere".
Kate Kilburn from Woodbridge will be a torch bearer there. Her twin brother, Dick, said: "There are about 20 family members here - just to see sister do her bit."
1438: And we're back - keep an eye out for that church spire on the run into Wickham.
1448: We missed out on pictures from Aldeburgh, but BBC reporters in the town say that a pair of two year olds, Tyler and Elsie, had made the most of the weather and were seen jumping in puddles whilst the torch came through.
One of their mother's said: "We watch a lot of Peppa Pig. They waved their flags and really enjoyed it."
Also there was Richard Kerry, chairman of Suffolk Coastal District Council.
He said: "The people have come down in their thousands to visit Aldeburgh and watch the Olympic torch go through. It's wall to wall people and a once in the lifetime experience.
"To find a 12-year-old boy composed the music they played was awesome - Aldeburgh Music is fantastic."
1459: Just ahead of the torch convoy rolling into town, crowds are gathering in Wickham Market.
But not clouds. Beautiful day in Suffolk today.
The torch has one fan in Wickham Market. Emily T Tweets: "Watching the Olympic torch relay…genuinely the most exciting thing that's happened to Wickham Market".
1504: The first torchbearer in Wickham Market is 75-year-old Derrick Thomas.
Formerly with the RAF, for whom he also got to show off his sporting talents at cricket, hockey and athletics, Derrick has also devoted a lot of his time to working on events for charity.
1507: The coverage is patchy here but if you see Neil Smith try to get on his bike to carry the torch then don't be surprised.
The 46-year-old Suffolk police dog handler has raised more than £70,000 for charity over a number of years by cycling all over the UK and abroad - with his first ride being one of 1,800 miles from Canada to Mexico.
1510: We would all love to go to dinner at the home of our next torchbearer Kate Kilburn.
She has been into a local primary school to teach local children how to cook and grow their own food so when they leave at 11 they can rustle up a three-course meal.
Good smiles and waves and a pacey run here - she must be super-fuelled.
1513: Up ahead on the road in Woodbridge, where the torch is due in about half an hour, our reporter Cleah Hetherington says: "Crowds beginning to build now in the sunshine. Lots of children taking advantage of an early end to the school day."
1514: It could be the closed in nature of the town's narrow streets, reflecting the sound, but there were huge cheers in the square there for the torch.
1515: Someone skips out to lay a hand on the torch there, but the torch security team encourage her to skip right away again.
And she does, smiling in the sunshine.
1516: Back in the bus now for the torch. And off to Ufford.
1518: So we can safely say that was a very positive welcome for the torch from Wickham Market.
Our reporter Guy Campbell is getting very emotional on air. He says: "When you see this convoy coming up through a small town like Wickham Market, my word, what a sight."
1520: Beautiful thatched roof there, on the first house of Ufford.
Starting the flame's journey here is 15-year-old Laura Bizzey. She raises funds for muscular dystrophy after she was diagnosed with a muscle-wasting disease, and has successfully undertaken two 10km walks.
Looks like that was her dad leaning on the road surface to get the best picture of her.
1521: Olympic flag is out there. As Laura walks up the hill.
We can see one of the Olympic mascot toys "waving" on the torch bus. He's getting into the spirit, with the Games opening ceremony just three weeks away tomorrow.
1526: Young Megan Newton running now. She's one of the youngest torchbearers, aged just 12.
Big waves from her, as she holds aloft what looks like quite a long torch for her.
1531: We have lost pictures at the moment, but 82-year-old John Ryan is due to be carrying the torch. He has helped raise thousands of pounds for the cystic fibrosis trust after his grandson was born with the disease.
1533: John has handed the flame back to travel on the bus to Melton.
1536: First to run here is 52-year-old Wendy Hughes, who is a full-time carer for her husband, who has been totally paralysed with multiple sclerosis for more than 10 years. Among other things, she takes the familiy on adventurous holidays including lots involving travelling on different types of boats.
1537: Everyone is craning, leaning in to see her as she sets off.
1538: Something shiny and new for you to play with. If you've been on the page for a while, refresh it and you should see a box with "Link" on it at the bottom left of the video screen.

1540: Ahead on the route, our reporter Alison Acton says the bunting is out along the seafront at Felixstowe and the crowds are starting to build.
The torch is due to arrive there at about quarter to five.
Mike Hervey-Murray is wearing the Great Britain tracksuit from the 1984 Paralympic Games, where he won a bronze medal for archery.
"I just got it out this morning - I'm amazed it still fits," he said.
"(The torch) is drawing every community in - momentum is starting to gather."
1541: Francis Boateng running now, and people are spilling into the street to catch a glimpse.
1544: We are now with Matt Sandbach, 31, who missed his 30th birthday and first wedding anniversary when six weeks of army training in Afghanistan turned into six months.
He is an Apache pilot in the Army Air core and his sister says: "He is a hero to me".
1547: Is it too early for a snifter on the relay route today?
In Woodbridge, where the torch is coming in to from Melton, town centre manager Neil Boast says it's the busiest he's ever seen the Thoroughfare.
He's opened a bottle of champagne and is trying to tempt BBC reporter Cleah Hetherington to join him.
1548: Now it's the turn of 24-year-old Adam Wolley, who undertook a solo bike ride from London to Cape Town to raise money for the Malaria Consortium after contracting the disease.
The journey took him seven months and he then rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic to raise money for Spinal Research.
1551: The torches kiss, and 30-year-old Claire Marritt, has the flame.
"She's got it!" someone shouts.
Claire offers help and support to people who have lost babies or have children with disabilities. She also attends church every week and sings in the local community choir.
1552: Crowds are building now, on the way in to Woodbridge. Lots of whoops and shouts for Claire as she comes through.
1554: And the torch is on to the next torchbearer, with a dance around in the sunshine.
Despite having two heart transplants, 17-year-old Emily Gentry fundraises with sports events to raise awareness about the shortages of transplants.
1557: It's a real squeeze here on the narrow streets as the torch convoy comes through.
Breathe in at the back please!
1600: And on to the next torchbearer in Woodbridge, to huge cheers and whoops.
The flame now passes to 48-year-old Eily Buffone. She is a prolific cyclist and tennis player despite a long-standing illness while she supports local village community events by baking cakes and donating home crafted items.
1607: The torch relay team have dashed off for a quick tea break at Woodbridge Community Centre. We'll be back on the road in about 15 minutes...
1621: We're back after the break and the Olympic flame is in the hands of Mustafa Javadi, who grew up in pre-revolutionary Iran and was forced to flee the country in 1979 when the Ayatollah came to power.
Mustafa went on to study physics at Birmingham University, eventually obtaining a doctorate. Now he works as the head of Nuclear Safety at Sizewell B Power Station.
He also undertakes various challenges for charity and over the past four years alone has completed four marathons for charity, cycled from Suffolk to Cardiff and ran numerous shorter local half-marathons.
He also completed a John O'Groats to Lands End cycle ride - 950 miles in 9 days - and collected more than £5,000 in sponsorship for EDF Paralympics GB.
1624: A quick highland fling between Mustafa and the next torchbearer Joeph Kinglake and it's more pretty scenes in Woodbridge's blazing sunshine. Happy days!
1627: Since 2007, Woodbridge's final torchbearer, Clive Coles, has volunteered his time to East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
He first became involved with the hospice programme whilst volunteering for the Foresty Commission who were helping to run an charity bike ride event for EACH.
Clive has also volunteered in Sri Lanka to help with the rebuilding of communities after the Tsunami. He helped to refurbish an old boys home and to boost moral in the Displacement camp and local schools.
1634: Back on the road again... this time the convoy will take us up the B1438 to the A12, en route to Felixstowe. ETA 10 minutes.
1653: First up in Felixstowe is Matthew Miller, who is austistic and has learning difficulties but attends his school football club twice a week and shows determination to join in the game.
1656: There's glorious sunshine in Felixstowe and the cheerful crowd are lining a florally decorated roundabout as David Wardle takes on the torch.
"Go grandad!" reads a massive banner floating above the crowd!
1701: Carrying the torch is a doddle for Tom Baty, who has Down's Syndrome and is a Special Olympics Powerlifter.
He won four gold medals at the World Games in Athens, achieving a clean sweep despite being ill just days beforehand.
1708: Tom passes the flame to British former swimmer Adrian Moorhouse, won the 100m breaststroke gold medal at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
Adrian dominated British swimming in the late 1980s.
If you're heading out to see the torch this evening, take some sun-screen along! It's a beautiful evening in Suffolk.
Remeber you can check the weather by hovering over the green dots on the map to the left of the commentary box to see the forecast three days before it reaches each area.

1713: Running with the torch now is Miranda Rayner, who is an active memer of the Walton & Frinton RNLI, continuing her family's 127-year tradition as volunteer RNLI crew members.
1717: Next up is a man with a perfect name for a sunny day, John Beer.
John founded Kirton Kestrels Junior Football Club in 1986, going from team manager to secretary and then treasurer.
After retiring John was instrumental in gaining the FA Charter Standard for the club's 10 teams, including the formation of a club's first girl's team.
1719: Hi to everyone who has been in touch via twitter and facebook. It's great to have you with us this lovely afternoon! Check out that coastline!
Dan Sloane tweets: "Torch handover outside my parents house. Waving at my family on the @BBC2012 #torchcam."
Hi Dan! Give us a shout (tweet @BBC2012) if you're watching and let us know where you are.
1722: The next torchbearer, Shane Hull is the Chair of the Hethersett Olympic Events Committee, a working group which Shane set up to galvanise the local community into engaging with the Olympics.
1728: This is the final convoy stint of the day, from Felixstowe down the A14 to Ipswich, where we're due in about 20 minutes.
1750: Did you see that queue on the A14? The combination of rush hour and torch relay road closures does not make for good journey times!
Torchcam is making better speed though, and will be at Fox's Marina any minute...
1755: All aboard! We've reached Foxes Marina, where Shane will board a speedboat and carry the flame on the River Orwell to Ipswich Marina.
We're just finding out if we can show you live pics with the torch or if we'll have to stay on the road.
1800: Colourful scenes across the water in Ipswich, where this Samba band are ready to welcome the torch to the Cornhill.
We'll be staying with the convoy on the road until we rejoin the torch. To recap, it's on a speedboat on the River Orwell at the moment.
1810: Just been talking to our colleagues at BBC East and we hope to bring you some footage of the torch on the speedboat later.
1810: Meanwhile, here's the view as seen earlier from the speedboat with the Olympic flame - nice way to beat the rush-hour traffic by crossing the River Orwell in the sunshine!
Time to look ahead to tomorrow's relay and Olympic swimmer Mark Foster will carry the flame in Southend, where the relay is due shortly before 1100.
Just looked at the weather forecast for that area on our map http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchrelay/day49 and it's looking wet at that time. Not that that'll worry a swimmer.
1820: The torch arrives by boat in Ipswich after sailing down the River Orwell.
1835: Looks and sounds like a bit of a stir on the river. Is this it?
Yes, there's the torch at the bow of the boat in the hands of the appropriately named Shane Hull.
1850: Sorry for the lack of a picture, we're still trying to get it back.
We can tell you that the final torchbearers included Robert Munro who is involved in the Football Gambia project, a small non-profit UK Charity that promotes education through football in the Gambia.
Dave Baynes-Robinson has run marathons and rowed the equivalent distance 10 times - all for charity.
He has also cycled across the USA, run to Paris and from Lands End to John O'Groats, raising many tens of thousands of pounds.
1853: We're told that Robert Pattison has the torch now. He started a charity called 'Possibilities' which helps disadvataged people in Uganda.
He has raised money to give people a chance for a better life, has built many homes and recently a nursery for the children.
1855: The last torchbearer of the day is Nicky Hunt, who found she had a talent for archery at the age of 11 and has risen to the top of her sport.
In 2009 Nicky became the first Britain to win a World Cup stage and ended the World Cup Series ranked first place.
The following year she made three of the four World Cup stage gold medal finals, taking home two silver and one gold, ending the years as the number one in the world.
She also won individual and team gold at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi - England's first archery gold medal at the Commonwealth Games for 28 years.
1900: Unfortunately we have to end it there as we haven't been able to get the feed back. Thanks for sticking with BBC torchcam today.
Tomorrow's another day.
