There is no doubt now: the Olympics have truly arrived in Britain. The arrival of the Olympic torch on British soil on Friday night and the start of the relay on Saturday has made the whole event seem that much more real. Maybe not so much for the athletes, who are mainly overseas or locked down in training camps, but for the spectators it's the moment when they can really start to appreciate the enormity and significance of this crazy, chaotic, wonderful festival of sport hurtling towards us.
06.43 Good morning and thanks for joining us for live coverage of the start of the torch relay. We're at Land's End in Cornwall for the beginning of a 70-day journey that will end with the torch lighting the cauldron in the Olympic Stadium. The relay begins in just over 15 minutes, so let's get going shall we?
