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

    It's been an exciting day on the relay, as the baton crossed the River Clyde by zip wire and was carried round Yorkhill hospital by Susan Boyle.

    Lord Smith of Kelvin, chairman of Glasgow 2014, also got to carry the baton to Partick Thistle's ground.

    We even got a chance to see it here at the BBC building in Pacific Quay, before it went up the tower at Glasgow Science Centre.

    The relay then worked its way around the west of the city before former Scottish middle-distance runner Christine Whittingham carried the baton on to the stage at tonight's evening celebration in Victoria Park.

    Tomorrow, the baton relay continues its tour of Glasgow, travelling round the south of the city from Carmunnock to Shawlands.

    We hope you can join us. Our live coverage starts at 07:00 BST.

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