On Day 61 The Flame travelled through the Channel Tunnel on its journey from Hastings to Dover
On day 61 of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay, the Flame travelled 57 miles and was carried by 94 different Torchbearers in total.
Highlights included the Flame travelling through part of the Channel Tunnel, and then being carried on a Tall Ship into to Dover.
Among the Torchbearers were Douglas Evans, 54, who takes wayward, aggressive individuals and helps them channel their uncontrolled energy to focus on their family or martial arts, improving his community.
Also running with the Flame was Robbie Herbert, 15, from Deal, who carried the Torch in Dover.
Robbie’s future in sport was assured before he was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome, but despite this he remains dedicated to being involved in sport in any way that he can.
On day 61 the Relay travelled through the following communities: Hastings, Rye, Hamstreet, Ashford, Hythe, Sandgate, Folkestone, Samphire Hoe and Dover.
The evening celebration took place on Dover seafront and featured a wide variety of entertainment, including music from Rizzle Kicks and a routine from dance duo Twist and Pulse.
