0657: Good morning and welcome to the week when the Olympic Games are going to start.
Welcome to day 65 of the Olympic torch relay where the flame will be going from Redbridge to Bexley.
Your writers this morning are Ian Westbrook and Jenny Minard.
0700: The flame has been up bright and early, and so has the BBC's Kevin Jackson who saw this.
First thing this morning, Amelia Hempleman-Adams carried the flame on top of the London Eye. We couldn't bring you the live feed but we can show you this spectacular picture.
Amelia became the youngest person to ski to the South Pole.
0709: More on the London Eye moment from the BBC's Kevin Jackson.
"At 06:33 BST Amelia Hempleman Adams climbed on top of pod 25 of the London Eye and held an Olympic torch aloft over London. She stayed on top of the pod, posing for pictures, as the London Eye slowly moved anti-clockwise back towards the ground. She went back inside the pod shortly before 07:00 BST."
0713: Today's leg of the torch relay starts shortly at Redbridge Cycling Centre and during the course of the day the Olympic flame will travel to Bexley.
0722: The relay is starting at Redbridge Cycling Centre, which was built at a cost of £4.5m and will be used as a Games training venue.
The first torchbearer is Luke Benjafield who joined ATC 241 Squadron when he was 13 years old. He worked hard through out his training to become a Corporal.
In 2009 he walked 100km in Nijmegen with blisters on his feet, but completed the four-day trek.
0724: Earlier this morning daredevil Amelia Hempleman-Adams carried the flame on top of the London Eye.
"It was amazing to look out and see the whole of London," she told the BBC.
She said that the Olympic Committee got in touch with her through her father, adventurer David Hempleman-Adams.
"I decided to see what I'd have to do, thought about it and decided to do it," Amelia, who has tickets for the athletics and diving events, added.
"The height was quite scary but you know you're safe so it's not too bad."
She added that it was a once in a lifetime experience, "especially as the Olympics are in London. It makes it more special".
0726: We see the flame for the first time today as Luke comes into sight and passes it on to relay veteran Janet Duncan who works for Olympic Broadcasting Services in London. She carried the torch at the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games.
0728: Now we meet Robert Holness who is an active scout leader who really has a passion for helping young people.
He says: "I hope is that maybe one day one of my scouts will go to the moon, climb the highest peaks, run the country or just have a happy and productive life."
0729: Good morning to Brian MacElwee and Melonie Pickering who have joined us on Facebook.
Melonie says she doesn't want anything to happen between 0930 BST and 1100 BST - she has to do her food shopping. Sorry Melonie, the relay is in full swing and there is a cracking day coming up.
You can watch it again with the rewind function later on though.
Don't forget you can tweet us - @bbc2012 or leave comments on our Facebook page.
Tahirah Holder tweets: "Up for the Olympic torch relay in Barkingside. Only had a samosa for brekkie."
We're wondering what you're having for breakfast...
Ian and Jenny here at torch towers are having cereal but Jenny says: "If I was at home I'd be tucking into poached eggs and maybe a slice of bacon."
0733: Paul Stewart was told he would not walk but it was never an option for him, he says.
"Even though I am still paralysed below the knees I still plan to walk without the aid of walking sticks. I have taken up wheelchair tennis and hope to represent GB in the Rio Games."
0739: Our next torchbearer Pasa Mustafa says: "My dream would be able to do something in sports and then to help younger people reach and achieve their goals. My goal would be to help others achieve theirs as I enjoy making and seeing other people happy."
0743: Nicholas Moseley is an aspiring Olympian having rowed for Marlow Rowing Club since the age of 13 and has competed at the highest level as a junior.
He is going to carry the flame into Fairlop Waters Country Park where it is going to be taken on a boat.
0744: Remember we asked you what you were eating for breakfast. Well hi there Chris Luke who says on Facebook: "Just finished my porridge, now it's tea and toast!"
He is hoping to get some chores done today but says he can't pull himself away from torchcam.
We never thought politicians could control the weather - but Alyson Cook disagrees: "Odd that during a lot of the non-London route, it was raining. Now it's not. Thinks a certain B.Johnston may have had a hand in that!"
Arthur Gilbert has tweeted this picture of excited children: "Waiting for Olympic torch in Barkingside."
0752: We hope to be able to bring you pictures of the flame as it travels across Fairlop Lake. Nicholas will be accompanied by sailors from the London Youth Games. In the background a large Tai Chi display will take place, incorporating views of the Monolithic Stone sculpture.
0800: Lots more highlights for you to enjoy on the relay route today.
In a couple of hours time 87-year-old Paul Freedman will carry the flame aboard the miniature railway at Barking Park.
Just before lunch at about 11:45 BST, Britain's Got Talent-winning street dance troupe Diversity will carry the flame on to the stage at the Dagenham Town Show.
At about 14:20 Lang Lang - who has performed with leading orchestras around the world - will carry the torch on to the stage at Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch while the last torchbearer of the day will be former boxer Lennox Lewis.
0804: Back with the flame now.
According to James Moseley he has competed against the legendary Lord Coe "or Seb as he was at the time" and the outstanding Steve Ovett.
He achieved a record Southern League points total whilst competing for Harrow Athletics Club and still competes now, at the age of 56.
He is now handing the flame on to Benjamin Tatlow.
0806: Good crowds turned out at Fairlop Waters, including BBC London 94.9's Anna O'Neill, who took this picture:
0810: The relay is running five minutes early as Wing Yee Lee partcipates in many fundraising activities including a sponsored half-marathon, dress down days and cake bake sales.
She is a Royal Geographical Society Geography Ambassador - the scheme recruits, trains and supports geographers currently at university and graduate geographers from the workplace to act as ambassadors for geography in the classroom.
0813: This is Francis Charles who survived a life threatening illness in childhood and he has spent his adult life devoted to helping those less fortunate than himself. In 2007 he won National Outstanding Public Servant of the Year out of four million public sector workers in the UK.
0815: Francis finds it hard to walk with the torch as masses of people swarm into the road around and in front of him. The torch security team try to keep people back but it is slow going at the moment.
BBC London's Elisa Kennedy said she was almost trampled over as people chased after the torch.
0821: Karen "Grace" Boxall had a high grade malignant brain tumour. She had two major operations, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
In 2009 and 2010 Grace took part in Cancer Research's Race for Life and raised in excess of £5,000.
0822: We are currently in Barkingside, whose claim to fame is that the first Doctor Barnardo's Home was started there in 1876.
0824: Ben Cunliffe is a qualified rugby referee and tennis coach. He coaches young children at his local tennis club several days a week.
0826: Andriy Maksymovych studied on a scholarship as an exchange student in the United States and ran Race for Children, a charitable marathon aimed at raising money for maternity hospitals in Ukraine.
The race took 41 days to complete, covered 1500km, and raised $55,000.
0827: BBC London's Anna O'Neill said: "Barkingside loves the Olympic torch.
"The runners need the clapping, beating of drums and cheering. They need people to support them so if you're sat at home thinking about whether to come out, do it! You'll never see it again so get out there and support it!"
0831: Daniel Grant is an international 1-Wall (American) Handball player. He was ranked number one in the UK and represents the nation on the England Team. He is both the European and a World Doubles champion.
0834: Good early morning turnout in this part of Essex as we approach the Gants Hill Roundabout.
0835: This was the moment Francis Charles took the flame in a mobbed high street in the Borough of Redbridge.
Kat Donnelly tweets: "I loved seeing the torch."
0836: As Martin Sorrell started his run, a man in the crowd leaned forward appearing to try to touch the torch but was moved away by a member of the torch security team before he could reach it.
0839: People are talking about what they are having for their breakfast this morning, while they watch #bbctorchcam.
Joa B says on Facebook: "I've just moved into my Games Time accommodation so for my breakfast it will be one of the following supplied: Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, Special K, Bran Flakes or porridge. What do you think I should go for?! Have a great day all.
NB: Other cereals are available.
Maggie McClymont says: "I had strawberries and vanilla yogurt for brekky although a bacon sarnie sounds good."
Tweet us - @bbc2012 or leave a comment on Facebook.
0841: David Backhouse now has the flame. He has been Governor at Mayfield School for 24 years and Chair of Governors since 1988. He has also been a volunteer for Barnardo's when he retired from full-time work.
He has taken it into Valentines Mansion and Gardens where the flame will be transferred into a lantern outside the entrance to the Mansion.
Apologies for the loss of pictures at the moment.
0845: The relay team are shortly going to take a 20-minute break, maybe for some breakfast and a flick through the Sunday papers.
If you are in the area, then it is worth popping along to Valentines as there is plenty planned for this morning.
A short Tai Chi demonstration, the second of the day (see 0752) will take place at 09:15 BST within the Walled Kitchen Garden followed by the chance to try it for yourself.
The Mansion will open to the public from 10:00 BST along with a Farmers' Market while also at that time a special craft activity gets under way.
There is a bit of a party atmosphere already in Ilford, Hels Bels tweets: "Waiting for the torch on Cranbrook Road in Ilford."
0848: BBC London's Lainey Malkani reports from Valentine's Mansion: "The atmosphere was brilliant. It was brought through to great excitement."
The Mansion was built in 1696. Since 1906, when it became council-owned, it has homed wartime refugees, a hospital and a council housing development. After being restored, it's now open to the public.
0854: Juliette has sent us two pictures of the relay in a sunny Cranbrook Road. One is of torchbearer Andriy Maksymovych receiving the flame from Ben Cunliffe and the second is of him running with it:
0856: BBC London 94.9's Anna O'Neill said: "The support for the torch has been phenomenal, really heart-warming. Some of the churches have been ringing their bells along the route today and that's helped to make it really spine-tingling."
0908: Back after the break with James Brewer.
0912: Lots of photographers out on the Cranbrook Road this morning - Graham Rodwell says: "Outside Little Gearies on Cranbrook Road Gants Hill watching the torch swap over fantastic atmosphere get in."
0916: There are lots of ways of watching the torch relay - one is on roller skates and we see a guy on the right-hand of the screen using them to keep up with the convoy.
Next up is Jessica Archard who is an enthusiastic sporting youngster. She participates in a range of sporting activities and represents Essex Open Netball team and the district cross country team.
0919: Thanks for your continued answers to the question - what are you having for breakfast this morning while following the torch relay (see 0744).
On our BBC London 2012 Facebook page, Chris Luke says: " Just finished my porridge, now it's tea and toast!" while Games Maker Joa B tells us: " I've just moved into my Games Time accommodation so for my breakfast it will be one of the following supplied: crunchy but cornflakes, Special K red berries, bran flakes or porridge. What do you think I should go for?!"
We should say other breakfast cereals are available.
Maggie McClymont says: "I had strawberries and vanilla yogurt for brekky tho a bacon sarnie sounds good."
0922: Luke Williams holds his torch high and after a word from the torch security team sets off. He has served Central Foundation Girls' School for all of the 10 years since he left Jamaica and apparently has given the girls so much motivation and inspiration.
We have a brief split here as Luke runs into a pedestrianised area - back with the flame shortly.
0926: Still no news on who will light the cauldron in the Olympic Stadium at the end of the opening ceremony THIS FRIDAY!!!!
On our BBC London 2012 Facebook page Luke Greavesy suggests Sir David Jason will be the person - but who do you think it will be?
Tweet us your thoughts to @BBC2012 or post on Facebook.
0930: Yesterday the relay visited five of the six London Olympic boroughs - today it visits the last one Barking & Dagenham after leaving Redbridge in around 20 minutes time.
Other London boroughs on today's itinerary are Havering and Bexley.
0931: Torch back in view once again and with Elise Cobain who has proactively contributed towards supporting the Roundhouse, a charity designed to provide creative and vocational opportunities to over 3,000 young people a year.
0932: The sun keeps shining as Jonathan Green takes over. He works with Games Volunteers and attended 70 events and spent 364 days supporting the work of the Olympic Ambition Team.
The weather seems set fair again today but if you want to double check, hover your mouse over the venue you want to visit on the map on the left-hand side of the page to get a snapshot of the forecast - and then click the More Details tab for a full five-day outlook.
0935: This is Andrea Zappia, who is chief executive officer of Sky Italia.
Big moment coming up for Joe Price shortly: "Waiting to watch my Grandpa Lionel Price carry the torch on the Internet from Vietnam, very excited, very very proud!!!"
Joe - your grandfather is up in two torchbearers' time. Hope you enjoy seeing him!
0941: Now we have Uchenna Uwechia who has been supportive in the development of youths in GSK Nigeria Community and a children's home.
He also personally provides motivation and direction to youths through motivational talks and counselling sessions in schools.
Look at these knitted wonders.
Liz Gibson has made a torch security team mascot - TST Bobby - and the twin of the Games Maker mascot which is currently riding on the team's bus."
0943: Specially for grandson Joe and everybody else - here is Olympian Lionel Price. He was born in London in 1927 and is a keen sportsman. As a youngster he played representative football and cricket whilst at school before being evacuated to Somerset at the outbreak of World War Two.
He took up basketball in 1944 and was selected for the Great Britain team.
He was selected for the GB Olympic Team at the 1948 London Olympics where they played at the now demolished Harringey Arena.
0949: Lots of people waiting for the imminent arrival of the relay in Barking Park, where it will be taken on the miniature railway. Thanks to Michael Grande for this picture:
0950: And Raj Khalid takes the flame into the park and out of the view of torchcam for now.
0953: London Mayor Boris Johnson has just told the BBC's Andrew Marr show said about 512,000 saw the Olympic flame travel through London on Saturday.
0957: Paul Freedman MBE is going to be the torchbearer carrying the flame on the Barking Park Light Railway shortly.
Paul, 87, has been fundraising for a number of years for a number of different charities. He was recognised for this work by receiving his MBE.
His tireless charity work includes forming a concert party that entertains in day centres, care centres and hospices and has put on almost 600 shows raising money along the way.
Unfortunately we do not have pictures of Paul with the flame on the railway.
1000: Raj Khalid (see 0950) was captured on screen by Naeem Ahmed on Ilford Lane near Barking Park:
1008: The flame is back on the road now with Kathryn Simpson, who has dedicated the last six years of her life as a foster carer. Her nomination says: "Kathryn's selfless attitude to providing a loving home not only for her children but also to those children less fortunate than her own has inspired others to foster children."
1011: A BBC torchbearer now - Dominic Coles who is chief operating officer for the 2012 Olympics.
1012: In case you missed it earlier, here is a chance to see Amelia Hempleman-Adams holding the Olympic flame on top of a London Eye pod first thing this morning.
1013: Philip Campbell, a sports coach and instructor, now takes his turn carrying a torch.
1019: Jürg Roger Häuselmann has been teaching children and teams for 30 years in handball and now has the flame.
1022: BBC London 94.9's Anna O'Neill is following the flame around London and said: "The crowds have been fantastic - it couldn't have been better, there's been so much support for the torch. I do feel so privileged to do this."
1024: Over the years Donald Taylor has continued to run races for charity. He runs six marthons a years and countless half marthons all for a good cause and is now running with the torch.
1026: Yet another overseas site user watching a close relative run with the flame via torchcam. Following on from Joe Price in Vietnam (see 0943) we have Emma Coles who tweets: "Watched dad run with torch on #torchcam at 5am eastern time!"
Her father is Dominic who ran at 10:11 BST:
Nehal Patel also took a picture of Dominic:
1031: In 2008 Scott Emmons ran the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon and raised £848 for RNIB. He then went on to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 2010 for Bowel Cancer UK, raising £4,445!
He is carrying the flame into Mayesbrook Park, which is being used as a training base for some Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
1034: While the crowds wait for the flame to emerge on to the street, some dancing girls from one of the sponsors try to keep them entertained by banging some frisbees and trying to encourage cheering.
1038: Scott emerges from the park after his marathon sprint and meets Susan Swanborough who is ready to take her turn. She inspires many people through her energy and passion to unlock the potential in others. At work she focuses on building the self-esteem of all those she comes across.
1040: Thanks for all the photos you are sending in of torchbearers this morning - here is another snapped by DJP:
1041: A nice relaxing Sunday morning for some as we spot people on various balconies overlooking the latest torch 'kiss' which means that Mirko Tus now has the flame.
1043: Dennis 'Shu' Chung started out in the Hong Kong Police force before moving to the UK, he was first a volunteer at Hackney Chinese Community Services and was a homecare worker in the community for three years.
Two people on the roof look on as he starts his stint - what is the most unusual place any of you have watched the relay from?
Let us know on Twitter to @BBC2012 or on our BBC London 2012 Facebook page.
1046: Number 50 of 163 torchbearers today is Charles "Malcolm" McKee who is active in the Scouting movement in Surrey. He leads and organises a wide range of outdoor events for his own and other Scout troops based in Ashted in Surrey.
1049:This is Sara Angeli who founded a neighbourhood watch group in her area which now has 70 members and has been instrumental in bringing total strangers together to build a diverse multi-cultural community.
1052: There seems to be a bit of enthusiasm for this torchbearer as a lady runs out into the "security bubble".

To date almost £20,000 has been raised and Andrew and his family continue to raise awareness of the charity through other fundraising activities.

He participates in wheelchair rock-climbing and football and is now with the flame.
Just behind you can see a horse and carriage following the convoy vehicles.
1137: BBC London's Lainy Malik, who is awaiting the torch at Central Park in Dagenham, said: "There are at least a thousand people waiting for the Torch.
The anticipation is building and there's a real carnival atmosphere.
"I've just seen one of the torchbearers wondering around with a bucket collecting money so the charity work continues."
1140: Here is Alexis Perry empowers young people who are disabled, or are from disadvantaged backgrounds and have low self-esteem.
1143: We seem to have lost the pictures here which could be due to the volume of people in Dagenham. More people = more people using the 3G signal which we are broadcasting from.
1144: Due to run now is Joseph Kelly who "has a brain tumour and has been so brave and positive whilst having treatment".
He used to love playing all types of sport - his favourite being football. Unfortunatly he had to stop his sports activities to have treatment and recover.

Dance troupe Diversity will perform as part of the 60th Dagenham Town Show during the break.
The relay is due to resume at 1248 BST.
1151: While we're waiting for the flame to come back from lunch, why not have a look at today's torch and Olympics-related stories.
See a selection of pictures from today's relay - including the moment Amelia Hempleman-Adams held the flame on top of the London Eye.
You can also see what's happening on the rest of the day, including a video of that London Eye moment.
And Boris Johnson says that London "is prepared" for the Games.
1248: The relay will be resuming shortly.
1254: The first torchbearer after lunch is Connor Green who is a 15 year old Volunteer Police Cadet. He assists in the community by getting involved in stewarding in local events such as the town show.
He will be bringing the flame out of Central Park so we should see him shortly.
1255: And right on cue - here he is!
1257: Christopher Isaac takes over torchbearing duties at the start of another busy afternoon.
The main difference between the London legs and those in the rest of the UK is that there are no convoy journeys - the odd 10 minutes or half an hour when the flame goes into a lantern and is driven down an A road.
The relay is pretty much constant each day from here on in.
1300: Volunteer Alex Griffiths is next up. He has worked for Gateway to the Games, at lots of local events and sports competitions and in support of the Olympic Ambition Team.
1305: Cries of 'Well done mate and well done Alex' from the crowd who are encouraging Alex, who is being helped on his way by a member of the torch security team.
1306: If you have watched the Olympics in Europe over the past few Games, then our next torchbearer Sonia Lopez will no doubt have had a part to play. She has looked after the needs of European broadcasters at the Olympics for the past 10 years.
1309: Rebecca Moseley gives her time to the RSPCA and is also a keen runner. She is the third Moseley carrying a torch today after Nicholas and James at 0743 and 0804 today. They are all runners nominated by one of the Games sponsors but we can't find out if they are related. Does anyone out there know?
1312: BBC London 94.9's Anna O'Neill is not on our list of torchbearers for today but has still managed to get her hands on a flame carrier. She has also taken this picture of torches being taken to a relay point on the torchbearers' bus.
What is the collective noun for Olympic torches - I think we should be told.
1316: With the flame now is Matt Masson who suffered a traumatic brain injury in November 2010. He was in a coma for six weeks and in hospital and rehabilitation for six months. He wants to return to skiing and working as a watersports instructor.
1322: Huge crowds as Ksenia Maslova runs towards Barking High Road.
1323: Next up is John Hamilton, who runs two churches in Dagenham on behalf of London City Mission.
His work includes providing food parcels, making home visits to people who would otherwise be isolated, supplying toys to families in need, running four youth clubs and organizing community events to bring people together.
1328: Highlights of the relay this afternoon include former Olympian Mo Morris, who competed in judo at the 1976 Montreal Games, carrying the flame, classical pianist Lang Lang, who has performed with leading orchestras around the world, carrying the torch on to the stage at Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch.
At around 15:30 BST, promising sailor Aaron Reynolds, 18, will carry the flame across the Thames in a London Fire Brigade boat, before the final torchbearer of the day is former boxer and Olympic gold medallist Lennox Lewis.
1331: The next torchbearer is Andrew Owen. He runs respite projects for inner city children who are in need of a break from difficult home lives.
The charity, Campus Children's Holidays, for which Andy is currently the longest standing trustee, takes referrals from Social Services for more than 200 children each year.
1333: The Market Place is the first main celebration in Havering.
The Romford Drum and Trumpet Corp are set to march while street entertainers will be on hand to entertain the crowd.
The Market Place is an open street market which dates back over 760 years where it was originally a sheep market. It's now considered to be one of the largest in the south-east.
1335: Huge changes of "Deano, Deano, Deano" and big cheers go up as Dean Gibson's torch is lit. He is clearly popular in the local community and with good reason - he helped save a local cubs pack and also runs their football team every Saturday morning. He also works with beavers and scouts and is an active member of the local church.
1337: That was a quick leg from Dean - clearly inspired by his legions of supporters.
Now we have Rakesh Kalia who is a special constable bridging gaps between the police and Asian communities.
1340: Will we see any somersaults from Anthony Wise or a straight run with his torch?
Anthony found a love of gymnastics after being sent from the age of four to try and use up some of his excessive energy.
When he was about eight he decided that he wanted to become an Olympic champion - now at the age of 15 he is in the top junior Olympic squad working towards his dreams.
1342: The weather has been a hot topic of conversation in recent weeks - but with the Olympics on the horizon people are wondering if the Games will be rain-free.
BBC weatherman Peter Gibbs takes a look at the range of possibilities.
1344: Aimee Sell started practising karate aged six and at seven was competing in Kumite (sparing) and Kata (pattern forms) competitions.
At eight years old she suffered an injury having glass embedded in her eye. She went on to have 6 operations over 18 months, finishing with a replacement false lens. She has approximately 75% vision in her right eye and was told never do Karate again.
She felt too passionate about quitting the sport she thrived in and loved and defying opinion continued to practice Karate and compete in Kata events. Aimee's gone on to be five times English and four times British individual National Champion.
1347: Aimee is currently completing a circuit of the Market Square area before returning towards the South Street pedestrianised area.
While we wait to see Aimee again we see a woman, (presumably on stilts!), in long black trousers trying to entertain the crowd.
1352: Apologies for the loss of pictures - problems with the 3G signal.
We are currently missing seeing 12-year-old Caitlin Hewson who has overcome severe allergies to be selected for Essex under-13 cricket squad.
1353: Pictures back in time to see Caitlin hand over to Olympian Noel "Mo" Morris. He was selected for the British Judo team in Montreal in 1976. He now runs a community Soccer Academy in East London and coaches over 160 children a week between the ages of 7-18.
1356: Noel stops for a moment and feels the back of his leg in the way footballers do when they pull a hamstring during a game. He restarts gingerly but then seems to be OK again as he carries on jogging.
A group of soldiers in uniform look on as he passes.
1359: Olympian Ben Hunt-Davis has competed in rowing in three Games - even winning a Gold medal in Sydney in 2000. Ben went on to volunteer at a 4th Games and then work at the BOA for 18 months. He was the Chairman of the 2011 World Rowing Junior Championships.

1402: Connor Seager has cerebral palsy and is very into sport. He plays Boccia and he says: "I would like to help my school win loads of medals."
1406: Ildiko Palhazy takes the torch now. She is committed to community regeneration and has spent the last 12 years working with diverse communities in deprived areas, for the last three years actively improving the life chances of homeless young people with East Thames.
1413: As John Partridge takes his torch the sun keeps on shining and the people keep on coming out to watch as the procession continues up the Hornchurch Road.
1415: A brass band set up on the side of the road plays on as John finishes his 'Moment to Shine' and hands over to International Olympic Committee nominee Jinhui Zhou.
1421: We reach torchbearer number 100 - and it's Christoph Schachi who plays hockey and trains youngsters in the sport.
1423: A transparent banner is held up in the crowd as Chloe Jennings starts her run. She raises money for breast cancer care, writes her own music, helps at the hospice as a volunteer and young leader at Brownies.
1428: This is Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang. He has played with top orchestras around the world and is well-known for the concerts he plays.
If you have never heard him and want a taster, here he is performing Chopin Etude from the Latitude Festival in Suffolk last weekend.
Lang Lang will now carry the torch on to the stage at the Queen's Theatre in Hornchurch but torchcam can't access that area.
1430: Richard Woodward-Court's last challenge was a 100k charity walk from London to Brighton in 24 hours: 300m with the torch will be a doddle!
1433: Richard exchanges high fives with Tom Traill, 25, who set up and manages the charity, FoodCycle, which volunteers cooks every Sunday at a community centre in Bromley-by-Bow for the local needy.
FoodCycle takes food which would have been thrown away by East London shops and turns it into three-course meals at the centre. The 50 volunteers who work with FoodCycle come from UCL, Birkbeck and in jobs around London.
1435: Good lord! Lord Stanley Fink is a philantropist who is a patron for both Absolute Return for Kids and the Team 2012 Fundraising Appeal.

1445: Roll on! Justin Wootten is one half of last year's roller skating champioships' British Artistic Dance Couple, with partner Justine.
They have skated in both World and European Championships, and are volunteer coaches at the Meridian Roller Skating Club.
Justin does a quick Usain Bolt pose and off he goes.
1451: Tim Sullivan, 53, from Billericay, is chairman of the Kings Cross Steelers, which prides itself on being the world's first rugby club set up to allow gay and bisexual men to play rugby in an inclusive environment.
The team last year triumphed in the European gay rugby cup.
1454: Out of the water and with the flame is retired Japanese swimmer Daichi Suzuki. He won backstroke gold at the 1988 Olympmics in Seoul.

He has received four prime-time Emmy awards for directing the Opening Ceremonies in Salt Lake City, Athens, Beijing and Vancouver.
1505: Jernej Stanonik passes the flame to Megan Yeoman, who gives a big thumbs-up to the cameras.
It's a beautiful afternoon in Havering. Remember, if you're heading out to see the torch you can check the weather forecast by clicking on the green dots on the map to the left of this commentary box. Bottom line for the day - shorts and sun-cream!
1508: As Heide Pohl makes a leisurely speed with the Olympic flame, BBC London's Ian Williams says the streets are full of people cheering on the torchbearers.
"The sun is out, so I expect people are getting a bit crisp but they're loving it," he says. "There's people everywhere - on walls, roofs - there really is a great atmosphere."
1513: Amy Cresswell passes the flame to Henry Ochieng, 13, who has excelled in athletics and sports in his school and in the borough of Havering, playing for West Ham acedemy and Essex crickets as well as winning numerous medals for sprinting for his school.
1517: Good Luck Team GB says a big banner by the road. Not long now before the Games kick off...
The flame is passed to Judy Grant, 52, from Macclesfield, who has long been a PE and swimming teacher at the David Lewis School in Cheshire, a specialist centre for children with severe epilepsy.
She has also run three marathons and 10 Great North Runs, for charities including the Breast Cancer Fund.
1521: A kiss on the cheek from Judy for Norman French as he takes on the torch.
He is the secretary for Byron Red Star football club and they're chuffed to have him representing grassroots football in recognition of his hard work over the years.
1528: We've got a convoy split here, with the Olympic flame heading off for a photo opportunity in front of Rainham Hall before it is popped into a lantern and readied to cross the river Thames!
1541: bbctorchcam has left its arm bands at home so sadly can't get waterborne for the next section of the relay, but rest assured the Olympic flame will be in safe hands as it crosses the Thames in a London Fire Brigade boat, accompanied by a flotilla of small craft...
Torchbearer Aaron Reynolds, 18, from Sidcup was presented with the prestigious Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Thames Valley Young Sailor of the Year Award in 2010 in recognition of his outstanding contribution to sailing.
Aaron has been sailing since he was four years old and is a member of Erith Yacht Club. He races on the 29er circuit all over the country and has both a powerboat instructors and advanced dingy instructors' certificates.
We're told he supports a demanding sailing training programme at the Yacht Club, which has recently had significant investment in new facilities and is viewed as being a true Olympic legacy, both for the London Borough of Bexley and for the Thames Gateway region.
Aaron plays a pivotal role in creating a safe, fun and progressive environment for all young people to succeed and excel in the sport of sailing, leads by example and is an excellent role model for junior, and youth sailing development.
1549: bbctorchcam is still proving immensely popular. Desktop Hippie is making the most of it, and tweets: "It's the week before the Olympics, which means this is the last week I get to watch the totally addictive BBC torchcam."
1600: The Olympic flame will be crossing the Thames from the jetty at Veoila plant to Erith Yacht Club, where the flags are flying high. Thanks to the borough of Bexley for posting this pic.
1607: As we wait for the relay to get back under way on the southern side of the Thames, there's a bit of sporting history being made on the southern side of the English channel... Go Wiggo!
1613: The Bexley Times has tweeted: "Bar struggling at #Erith Yacht Club. Hundreds here already #Bexley #torchrelay BexleyTimes @BexleyTimes."
And that was an hour ago! Hope those folks still have their sea legs...
1618: Flame spotters have been everywhere today!
Earlier, in Havering, the BBC's Ian Williams saw a couple dressed up in bird suits who are working hard collecting money for their charities; a group from an old people's home who are sat on deckchairs with Union Jack flags draped over their legs, and people perched perilously on bollards and step ladders so they can get the best view of the flame.
Have you been out to see the flame - perhaps from an interesting vantage point or in a Jubilympic outfit? Let us know or tweet us a pic and we'll share the best costumes here... @BBC2012
1625: As we wait for the relay to get back under way from Erith yacht Club, Big news from Paris - it's a Cavendish/Wiggins double-whammy in the Tour de France.
Bradley Wiggins makes history as the first British winner of Tour de France in its 99-year history... and Mark Cavendish wins the final sprint...
That throws the cat among the cauldron-lighting pigeons - so to speak. Who should light the Olympic cauldon on Friday night? What do you think?
Tweet us your thoughts - @BBC2012.
1645: Standby for relay restart! Are you ready Erith?
1649: bbctorchcam is waiting for the torchbearers to rejoin the relay cavalcade at the National Construction College in Bexley.
Leaving Erith yacht Club was torchbearer Alan Jones. He has been a volunteer for 17 years for the Handicapped Activities and Leisure Organisation (Halo), and has been their vice chairman for 12 of them.
He fund-raises, organises holidays and arranges work experience for young adults looking for a career in social care.
1652: And bbctorchcam is back in the room. Or in Bexley, at least. Check out the crowds!
Off camera, Alan Jones has passed the flame to Sandra Soler-Gomez.
She organises a bi-annnual charity ball and has raised £1,196 through running half-marathons. She also coaches rugby in her free time.
1657: Beautiful body-popping from the current torchbearer. No number on his vest so we can't ID him, sadly - but he has great moves!
Ah, we're told he's runner 155 - Durone Dehaney-Stokes.
His nomination says he brings music to patients in a local hospice and has proved himself to be a strong and confident role model for his peers.
Durone says: "Taking part in Music in the Community made me very aware of how I can use my own passions to help bring happiness to others and it is something I would love to continue to do. If I can do things to make people sincerely smile, I'd be very happy."
1700: Torchbearer 128 - Timothy Morgan, we think - may not have quite the same the moves, but he's making up for it in the enthusiasm stakes, egging the crowd on and cupping his ear for more cheers. The crowd are loving it!
Not sure what the guys in the grey make of his quick dash for a kiss from the crowd though... Stay on target!
1702: Dawn Saunders is taking a more traditional stint with the torch - waving and smiling.
She fosters children while looking after her own family and also works at the local youth centre with youngsters aged 11 to 18.
Dawn takes them for weekends away and also organises a yearly street party.
She recently completed five marathons in five weeks so this should be a doddle.
1709: Polly Noble is now carrying the flame.
She is currently fighting her second bout of cancer and her nomination states she is "combating it with positivity and good food".
She runs workshops and tries to help people in the same situation.
1714: Polly passes the flame to 26-year-old Andrew Lacon and there's still gorgeous sunshine in Bexley. The TST runners are wearing their trademark shades - Adidas, natch!
1716: Holding the flame high now is Jack 'Pegsy' Pegram. He plays wheelchair table tennis for Team GB and is an Ambassador for the Youth Sport Trust. He has done more than 200 hours of community volunteering.
He says: "I hope to pass on my enjoyment of sport to others so that everyone can really enjoy themselves at whatever level."
1719: There are Union Jacks on Pegsy's wheelchair, and there are Union Jacks on the roof - Careful up there!
1721: Inspiring story, this: Torchbearer Laura Crane made a big impression on the School Reporters from St Columba's Catholic Boys' School who interviewed her recently, with the pupils describing her story as "inspirational".
Laura was seriously ill with a rare form of cancer, and lost the hearing on one ear, but has continued to coach youngsters at her Bexley Athletics Club as well as competing herself.
Have a listen to the interview.
1724: Sweet-toothed Joe Cleverly is now jogging with the torch with ease.
He will be 80 in August and still runs with New Eltham Joggers and Herne Hill Harriers, regularly winning prizes in his age category.
His nomination states: "He has a wonderful sense of humour and will always be there to support his team at every race with a bag of jelly babies."
1730: As Simon Hall takes up the flame, spare a thought for the guys in grey running alongside the torchbearer.
They have to balance crowd-control and keeping the Olympic flame and its carrier safe while keeping a cheerful face on for the crowds - while running up to 20 miles a day... In this heat, that's no mean feat.
For the uninitiated, they're Met police officers and they've gained quite a following throughout the course of the relay...
They're being missed by family and friends while they're on the road - so a quick shout out to TST-kin, especially Gwen Collins, who's daughter PC Victoria Walker is one of the 35 TST runners.
1733: Simon Hall's nomination states he "helped persuade Walthamstow Council to give him a piece of waste land, on which he has led the building of a new BMX track using from soil on the Olympic site, delivered free".
He was homeless two years ago, according to his nomination, but he is now described as a "key figure" for Waltham Forest Cycling Implementation Group.
1738: Thanks for your comments on who you think should light the Olympic cauldron. Kevin Beasley covers three bases with his suggestion, tweeting: "@BBC2012 Wiggins hands torch to Thompson hands it to Redgrave lights Cauldron."
1740: Young athlete David Bolarinwa finishes his moment in the sunshine and passes the flame to Hugh Brasher, the director of the London marathon.
His father, Chris, co-founded the capital's marathon in 1981. Wonder what Hugh thinks of the crowd-control...
1741: Ooh - kissing torch shadows on the road. Nice camera-work, #bbctorchcam.
1745: Charlotte Locke is deputy chair of Bexley Youth Council and attends a youth club for disabled youngsters.
She also helps at coffee mornings at an elderly people's care home, "usually with her home-made cakes for them to enjoy", her nomination adds.
1748: Paul Thompson is rector of the Royal College of Art and his nomination states he is "committed to ensuring that the London Olympics are a beacon of design excellence".
1756: Hats off to former soldier Kenneth Owen, 91, who is described in his nomination as having been "a top runner for his school and the army" in his youth.
He spent his war years intercepting enemy messages in the Middle East and that his contribution was "recently recognised by the prime minister".
For many years he voluntarily assisted schools and Scouts with camping trips.
1757: Hello to the cricket team taking an impromptu drinks break by the Bourne Road boundary to see the torch!
1804: It's a lovely afternoon to be out in the garden, so Christine Gosden has just taken the torch into Hall Place for a quick photo op... Say cheese-grater!
1808: The torch is back on the road, and in the hands of GB Senior Women's basketball player Rosalee Mason.
Part of the Commonwealth Games bronze-winning women's team back in 2006, she is an avid supporter of the London Youth Games and has helped prepare the girls' team.
1810: It's a case of pearl earings and pearly whites for Clare Turner - that's how to accessorize within Locog's torch-bearer fashion restrictions!
1815: Big crowds on the A220 in Bexley - the torch relay's certainly stopping traffic!
1817: Maria Macdonald is part of the department of English and Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Her nomination states that she "goes the extra mile" by running during her lunchbreak, training for fund-raising marathons.
1829: Big crowds basking in the Bexley sunshine now.
1830: Jane Smith is captain of the 1st Dagenham Girls Brigade Company and is secretary of prostate cancer charity Apple. Since 2003, she has helped raise more than £20,000 for charity, by running the London Marathon twice and organising other events.
1835: Keen sportsman Ollie Benham has taken the torch. He has clocked up years of overseas work in Southern Sudan, Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe for aid organisations, before returning home to work in London.
His nomination states he organised Southern Sudan's first charity 10k race, adding: "Opened by the President, and involving over 1000 schoolchildren, the inaugural event brought a moment of fun and peace to a war-torn country in 2008."
1840: Sarah-Louise Casey is a former multiple world record holder in disability swimming (Down's Syndrome) and her nomination states she has competed at five World Championships and has more than 40 medals including 13 golds, breaking 13 world records in the process.
She currently holds eight European Open and three European Masters records and also helps train other swimmers on a one-to-one basis.
1843: The torch is nearing its final destination for the day - Danson Park.
There, pop duo Rizzle Kicks and dance act Twist And Pulse are performing at the evening's cauldron-lighting celebrations.
1849: We've just switched feeds to bring you shots from inside the park. Apologies for the shaky footage!
1854: Here's a familiar face. Former world heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis is the last torchbearer of the day.
The Londoner won Olympic gold in Seoul in 1988 before becoming a British world champion.
He said of carrying the torch: "This is a great honour for me and my family. Growing up here a as child and now being able to come back and participate in something so historic means the world to me.
"The fact that the Games are here in England, has a special meaning to me because I was born here. I can't wait for the world to see how London hosts the Games."
1855: And the cauldron's lit!
1859: What does this mean to Lennox?
"I feel like I was carrying the Olympics in my hand and have now passed it on!"
1900: And with that we'll close our live coverage for today. Thanks for joining us on a picture-perfect Sunday - the torch relay's last!
Do hope you'll join us tomorrow for day 66 of the relay, when the Olympic flame will travel from Lewisham to Wandsworth - stopping off at Wimbledon's centre court and Battersea Dogs' Home. We'll bow(-wow) out for now!
