Residents living in and around Suffolk can find out when it will be travelling along their nearest high street, through their town square or past their local village shop.

The Torchbearers confirmed to carry the Flame through Suffolk today include those that were successful through the public nomination processes.

Each Torchbearer will wear a white and gold uniform which been designed by adidas. 

Councillor Kathy Gosling, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member responsible for the Olympics, said:

“I am thrilled to see the street level map of where the Olympic torch will be carried through Suffolk and to discover who our torchbearers are.

“We are very lucky in Suffolk that the torch will visit the county on three days and I would urge everyone to line the streets and cheer on our county’s torch bearers.

“This is a once in a lifetime spectacle and I am confident that the people of Suffolk will join the celebrations whole heartedly.”
