  1. Goodbye for todaypublished at 19:01 British Summer Time 25 June 2014

    That's all we've got for today's Queen's Baton Relay Live. Despite the rain, it's been a fun-filled and emotional journey around Clackmannanshire.

    The church bells rang out in Menstrie, while in Dollar Bob Anderson stole the hearts of the crowd when he climbed out of his wheelchair to walk with the baton.
