That's all for today's Queen's Baton Relay Live - the weather was fantastic and so were the crowds who lined the route from the Midlothian Snowsports Centre to Dalkeith.

Thanks for all your tweets flagged with the hashtag #bbcbatonrelay, external. We'll be back tomorrow morning from about 08:40 for the baton's journey around East Lothian.

Are you, or is someone you know, taking part in the relay tomorrow? We would love to hear from you on email.

For the latest on the baton relay visit our special pages within the BBC News website.

Goodnight.

The Queen's Baton Relay will start again tomorrow at approximately 08:40, when things get under way in Musselburgh.

The baton will travel across East Lothian visiting towns including Prestonpans, Tranent, Gullane, Dunbar and Haddington.

It will inspire hundreds of children taking part in the Primary Games at Meadowmill Sports Centre, and pass Dirleton's striking church.

In North Berwick it is set take in the sights of the majestic coastline and Bass Rock, before coming full circle into Musselburgh for an evening celebration at The Brunton.

Once again we will be covering the relay as it happens, with a live video stream and updates throughout the day.

Get involved on Twitter using the hashtag #bbcbatonrelay, external or send us an email.

Thousands of people and a few giant puppets have gathered in Dalkeith Country Park for this evening's celebration.

The event will involve a samba band, a mass choir and an outdoor ceilidh. Sporting activities will be going on throughout the park, including judo, metafit and pole fitness lessons.

They've certainly got the weather for it.

We told you the escorts couldn't keep up.

The last Midlothian baton bearer is badminton player Colin Leslie, who takes the baton from Sabina Jedrzejczyk.

After a work accident, which led to both his legs being amputated from below the knee, Colin had years of inactivity. However, he decided to change his life for the better: he trained intensely, lost four stone in weight (25kg) and became part of the Scottish para-badminton squad.

Colin's gone on to be a level 1A coach, the vice-chair of his club and a lead coach for the new badminton beginner section for all disabilities.

There will no more live video coverage, but we will be posting some more comments and pictures.

Kumbirai Mazangaza is proving a big hit with the crowd. His fan club are running along the pavement beside him. He's also taking fist-bumps from spectators.

Margaret Kerr has just completed the fastest leg of the day. She absolutely tore down the road, leaving the police escort in her wake. Good luck if you were trying to grab a photo.

The first Queen's Baton Relay was staged for the 1958 Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, with England's famed middle-distance runner Roger Bannister as a baton bearer.

This year the relay will cover 190,000km (118,060 miles), the equivalent of going round the Earth's surface almost 4.25 times.

We've had an email from Carolyn Murphy, a volunteer driver on the Queen's Baton Relay.

"I just wanted to give a mention to all my fellow volunteer drivers and hosts who are doing a sterling job," she writes.

"They are working away in the background making sure that each and every baton bearer's experience is wonderfully unique and enjoyable.

"They are working together and are a fantastic example of excellent teamwork.

"Although this is a once in a lifetime experience, it is exhausting and they are all still smiling (I think)."

She adds that the youngsters on the team are "the nicest, most well-mannered, helpful and motivated bunch and superb role models".

Midlothian has been bathed in sunshine today as the baton passed through, carried by community stalwarts every step of the way. Here are a few of them snapped in Easthouses.

Emily Fisher has sent in a message of support: "Go Tommy Lawson! All of Thornton Rose Riding for Disabled are cheering for you! So well deserved!"

Lisa Rose and family have these words for Margaret Kerr: "All the very best Margaret - mother, super gran, gymnastics coach and Brevet Judge. A fantastic friend, we are all supporting you xxx."

Trish Divine says: "I want to wish Linda Smith the best today and hope she enjoys the occasion. I'm sorry I can't be there to see it but look forward to the pictures."

The relay is now leaving Newbattle Abbey College. The baton is being carried down the driveway by Sophie Miller.

The Queen's baton handle is made of elm wood sourced from the grounds of Garrison House on the Isle of Cumbrae, and is a tribute to Scotland's natural resources.

Housed at the top of the baton is a granite 'gemstone', which can only be released by opening a puzzle mechanism. The granite was quarried from Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde.

We'll leave Newbattle for the last leg of the relay into Dalkeith Country Park for an end of day celebration.

This will feature a samba band, a mass choir and an outdoor ceilidh. Sporting activities will be going on throughout the park, including judo, metafit and pole fitness lessons.

MidLothPolice tweet, external: "Crowds of approximately 800 gathering for the imminent arrival of #BatonRelay at #newbattle abbey college."

The baton relay is now at Newbattle Abbey College. Unfortunately we can't bring you any video for approximately half an hour.

We hope you're enjoying the live video feed as we roll into Newbattle.

Adam Livingstone has taken the baton. His grandchildren excitedly ran to join him for a photo.

Adam has recently retired from working in the local authority after nearly 40 years with the roads department, and coached judo in Midlothian for 35 years.

He has been involved in the sport for 45 years, having competed previously, and has dedicated his time to taking kids to competitions and supporting their progress.

His commitment to the sport of judo is paralleled with his dedication to the local community, and he'd often be found driving gritters around in winter, clearing the roads for other drivers in the area.

School's out! The relay is back on the street. Robert Foley has just passed the baton to Jonathan Key.
