Olympic Torch in Somerset - Live coverage
EXCITEMENT is building across Somerset as the county looks forward to seeing the Olympic Torch pass through later on today (May 21).
The torch is due to arrive in West Somerset this afternoon, where it will be carried by Bridgwater school teacher Cath Clark, among others.
The torch will then arrive at Silk Mills Road in Taunton at 6.08pm before heading along Wellington Road and into Somerset County Cricket Ground at around 7pm.
