THE Olympic Torch finally arrives in Doncaster today - when thousands of people are expected to line the town’s streets for an historic day.

Scores of spectators will line the streets of Conisbrough, Warmsworth, Doncaster, Armthorpe, Hatfield and Dunsville as the torch makes its way from Sheffield to Cleethorpes on day 39 of the 70 day, 8,000 mile relay around the UK before its arrival in the capital marks the opening of the London 2012 Olympics on July 27.

Between 9.50am, when the torch is scheduled to arrive in Conisbrough and 1.49pm, when it will leave Hatfield, the flame will be proudly held aloft by 45 individual torchbearers including brave paratrooper Ben Parkinson, who lost both his legs in Afghanistan, as well as youngsters, pensioners and scores of inspirational locals who have battled against adversity, excelled at sport or helped raise thousands of pounds for charity. Sky Sports football pundit Chris Kamara will add a touch of celebrity glamour by running on Leger Way.
