BBC Live reporterA man is appealing for the return of a replica Olympic torch which he carried on the relay to London 2012.
Guy Watts, from Horsham, lost the torch during a burglary at his home.
Image source, Guy WattsHe'd been chosen to carry it through Sutton in South London after raising thousands of pounds for charity by rowing across the Indian Ocean.
Guy had hoped to eventually pass the torch on to his daughter, who's eight months old.
Quote MessageIt's very little to do with money, I wanted to pass it on. It's something I'm really proud of myself and obviously my family and friends are too. So I'm looking out for whoever did it to maybe feel a bit of remorse, and maybe return it. I don't really want to know who it is, but if someone's able to do that it would be great."
Guy Watts
He is asking for it to be returned to Architectural Plants, Pulborough, West Sussex, RH20 1DJ.

End of twitter postPolice warn parents over children's 'sexting'published at 08:01 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2018

Kent Police is warning children of the dangers of 'sexting' - where they send indecent images of themselves via social media.
Detectives say young people are setting up so-called "bait out" pages where other users are encouraged to shame and bully victims.
Kent Police said this may be due to an increase in "self-generated indecent images" taken by young people as a result of "sexting" or sharing "nude selfies".
Supt Susie Harper said: "The parent can be liable for what the phone is used for and any indecent material that is saved or sent from it.
"That could mean police turning up at the family home with a search warrant, property being seized, potential arrests and innocent people being suspected of serious offences.
"I’m not raising awareness to scaremonger... our first priority is to safeguard young people and protect them from harm."
