  6. Watch again?published at 15:47 British Summer Time 29 June 2014

    We've had a few queries about whether you can watch the live stream back on our website.

    Unfortunately, this is not available. However, while the stream is being broadcast on this page you can scroll back to any point of the day to watch it again.

    Very handy if you want a screen grab of a friend or family member holding the baton. But be quick! It will disappear when the live coverage ends.
