Day 60 of the Olympic Torch relay – Brighton and Hove to Hastings

Today is day 60 of 70 for the London 2012 Olympic torch relay and will see the torch travel from Brighton and Hove at 7:25am to Hastings at 6:20pm, passing through Crawley, Copthorne, Felbridge, East Grinstead, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough, Lewes, Eastbourne, Pevensey Bay, Pevensey, Bexhill-on-Sea and St Leonards-on-Sea along the way.

Today will see 137 torchbearers and a coverage of 109 miles. En route the flame will call at the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs as well as at Tonbridge Castle.

Perhaps the most high profile torchbearer today will be double Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes. She won Olympic gold in the 800m and the 1500m at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The flame will also be carried by former motorcycle stuntman Eddie Kidd, comedian Eddie Izzard and Brighton hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks.
