Dover is set to be the resting place of the Olympic torch as it finishes off a second day snaking through Kent tomorrow.

The flame takes a long route - from 10.30am until the evening celebration in the port town at just after 7pm.

In between those times it visits Hamstreet, Ashford, Hythe, Sandgate and Samphire Hoe.

Our reporting team includes video, audio and text reporters, plus photographers taking pictures along the route.

To follow all the action - as it happens - see our interactive map, videos and pictures.
