Torch route and bearers unveiled

The route for the Olympic torch relay in the South East has been unveiled.

It will come to Southend on 6 July, and then onto Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Surrey.

It then enters London a week before the games begin, making its way through the various boroughs around the capital.

The flame will reach the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, east London, for the opening ceremony on 27 July.
