  1. That's all for todaypublished at 19:30 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    That's it from today's Queen's Baton Relay live page.

    It's been a great first day in Glasgow. Shoppers on Buchanan Street stopped for a look at the baton, which also went on a trip on the subway, was carried round Merchant City and George Square before touring the east of the city and visiting Celtic Park.

    Our favourite baton bearer was 93-year-old Jamie Stuart who entertained the crowds with his antics. He also took a shine to one of the police escorts.

    Get to your bed early if you plan on joining us. Our live coverage starts at 06:45 BST.

    Wow!

    Sandra says he touched the baton but didn't get to read the letter from the Queen.

    Don't worry Jonathan, you only have to wait until Wednesday for Her Majesty to reveal her secret message at the Opening Ceremony.

    A kilted Neil Young has just carried the baton in Royston.

    Fans of the Canadian singer-songwriter will be disappointed, but not surprised, to find out that it was a different Neil Young.

    Sorry Neil, we imagine you must get people asking you to sing "Heart of Gold" all the time.

  7. Selfie for Stephen!published at 18:16 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    The current baton bearer has paused on the steepest part of Royston Road to take a selfie.

    The policeman on the bicycle behind him looks like he's glad of the short break.

    Ninety-three-year-old Jamie was the 1948 Scottish two-mile steeplechase champion. He raised thousands of pounds for charities including Save the Children Fund and The Glasgow Lodging House Mission by running five marathons when in his 60's.

    Crowd-pleaser Jamie had some fun on the relay today. He stopped to pose with a police motorcyclist then pretended he was going to throw the baton into the air.

    Clearly a ladies' man, he walked along Alexandra Parade hand-in-hand with one of the police escorts before posing for a picture with a female spectator.

    Monika Michon was given a "Grand of Duke of York"-style guard of honour by the police escort as she ended her stint in the relay in Riddrie.

    She then raised both arms aloft and saluted the crowd with the baton.

  14. No boat for batonpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    Sorry, it looks like the kayak trip has been cancelled.

    The baton is now in Riddrie, where Amy Allan is first baton bearer.

  15. Hogganfield Lochpublished at 16:59 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    The baton was carried by mountain bike into the parkland surrounding Hogganfield Loch, where it will shortly take a trip on a kayak.

  16. Goodbye Garthamlock, hello Ruchaziepublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    A waving Reegan Stevenson was the final baton bearer in Garthamlock.

    The relay has now moved to Ruchazie where the first baton bearer, Courtney, is a rhythmic gymnast.

    To the delight of the crowd, she twirled a ribbon as she ran with the baton.

    Kirsty Partridge (pictured with Daniel Odoom), who has a pair of Commonwealth Games flags embedded in her hair, was well supported during her spell with the baton.

    A cheering group of children wore T-shirts which spelt out K-I-R-S-T-Y.

    Well it would have, if they'd been standing in the right order.

  18. Get involvedpublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    Thomas McCann was out cheering on the relay in Braidfauld. He's very kindly sent in this great picture of Guilia Kerr passing the baton to Isobel Finbow.

  20. Watching us, watching youpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 20 July 2014

    If you're watching the video feed you may have noticed a couple of more animated spectators outside Glasgow Kelvin College.

    They were on their phones jumping around and waving their arms. We suspect they were telling their friends to look out for them on the BBC's video stream.
