The Olympic Torch has left Taunton on the fourth day of its journey through the west country. Crowds turned out bright and early to see the flame head off through South Somerset carried by Judy Gaden whose son Tom was killed in Afghanistan.
It started with a trip by electric powered boat before continuing by road to Ilminster and onto Yeovil, Glastonbury and Wells before heading to Trowbridge, Bath and Bristol.
17 year old Amelia Hempleman-Adams from Bath held the flame on top of a capsule at the top of the London Eye.
The Olympic flame returned to the Westcountry today (Thursday 12th July) making its way through Dorset.
One of the world's greatest ever athletes carried the Olympic Torch around Stonehenge at sunrise today.
