The Olympic torch will be in Berkshire for a second day today. After leaving Reading this morning, the flame will head through Theale, Thatcham and Newbury.
TV presenter Claire Balding thanked the people of Newbury after an emotional day carrying the Olympic Torch through the Berkshire town. In a tweet she said the experience was 'absolutely amazing'. She said she was 'in bits getting off the bus' but 'grinned throughout the run'.
A torchbearer who survived a car crash said he felt 'invincible' after carrying the Flame in Theale. Joe Robinson, 21, spent two months at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after he broke his back and fractured his skull. Just 11 months later he cycled from Paris to Oxford, raising £37,000.
And the husband of torchbearer Gillian Hurley said how amazing it was to see his wife carrying the Olympic Torch. Kevin said the charity fundraiser and cub leader felt scared this morning but had a hug grin on her face as she carried the Flame.
A man who carried the Olympic Torch in 1948 has met the Queen 64 years late on the Torch Relay. Bob Tutton was in Reading this morning for the relay after spending yesterday at Windsor Castle. At the end of the video you can see Bob wearing a red tie and holding his 1948 torch at Windsor Castle.
