The Olympic torch is half way through its Herefordshire journey.

Huge crowds lined the streets to see the flame arrive in Ledbury, while hundreds of school children waved their flags in Bartestree and pubs opened early to serve tea and cake in Lugwardine.

The torch, currently on day six of its 70-day tour of the UK, is leaving Hereford Sixth Form College at 12.21pm.

From there it travels along Aylestone Hill towards the city centre where thousands of people are gathered in High Town.

It will arrive in Leominster at 1.19pm before making its way across the border to Ludlow.
