Meanwhile, Sarah Burns emailed in to say: "Nicholas Burns, 31, is taking part in the Stranraer leg of the torch relay today.

"Nick was chosen to baton bear as he has volunteered in the local Marie Curie cancer shop for over 10 years and for his work as a volunteer porter at Stranraer hospital."

A fresher day on the way for the Queen's Baton Relay, with plenty of sunshine and a light north wind.

Sandra Proudfoot now has the baton. Sandra was nominated for her work with the Annandale and Eskdale Disability Sports Club and Dumfries and Galloway Special Olympics team.

As you may have noticed Ashley Jensen has been travelling in a horse and cart in Gretna.

The couple in the carriage are Sally Eastmond and Damone Barnes. They met in Tesco 10 years ago and are getting married in the town later today.

The BBC spoke to them to discover what they thought about the baton playing a role in their big day.

The baton is now being carried by Emmy-nominated actress Ashley Jensen, who you may recognise from Extras and Ugly Betty. Ashley is from Dumfries and Galloway.

Are you going to watch the baton relay in Dumfries and Galloway today?

It's expected to be dry and sunny but not quite as warm or humid as yesterday.

Chris Fawkes has the latest forecast for the Queen's Baton Relay as it travels from Langholm to Stranraer.

The baton is currently in convoy from Langholm to Gretna. If you are watching the video stream on this page, sit back and enjoy the journey.

I wonder if any Langholm schoolchildren will have their voices left after that. They were giving the Queen's Baton some welcome.

Langholm Town Band and Langholm Pipe Band just performed Highland Cathedral for the large crowd before baton bearer David Stevenson continued the relay.

The baton is currently in Langholm, where it has been welcomed by enthusiastic crowds cheering on the baton bearers. The streets are lined with supporters.

The baton relay for Dumfries and Galloway has now begun. You can watch it on our video stream at the top of this page. The first baton bearer was Samuel Brown, who passed it to 16-year-old Shelby Watson.

The Queen's Baton Relay is the main curtain raiser for the Commonwealth Games. Last night, it emerged the Jamaican sprinting superstar may miss Glasgow 2014 as she struggles with fitness.

Earlier this year, when the Queen's Baton was in Jamaica, the BBC spoke to Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She talked about her preparations for Glasgow 2014.

Today, the baton will visit:

07:30 Langholm

09:10 Gretna

10:05 Eastriggs

11:00 Dumfries

13:05 Castle Douglas

14:45 Kirkcudbright

16:05 Newton Stewart

17:05 Castle Kennedy

17:25 Stranraer

The image at the top of the page shows the Commonwealth Games 'gemstone', and comes courtesy of Glasgow 2014. The gemstone is held at the very top of the Queen's baton, and is made from granite sourced from Ailsa Craig. A gemstone was gifted to every nation and territory the baton relay visited.

Good morning and welcome to today's live coverage of the Queen's Baton Relay. Today, the baton will visit communities in Dumfries and Galloway.
