Steve Backley carried the torch in Ramsgate today

Grab your camera - tomorrow's your last chance to see the 2012 Olympic flame in your county.

The torch - which has travelled hundreds of miles through Kent in its four-day spectacular route - is set for another day of excitement.

From Maidstone, it takes a route to Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Higham to Gravesend.

Torch supplement for KM newspapers

Along the way, it is carried in a rowing boat at the Archbishop's Palace in Maidstone and on a paralympic bicycle at Brands Hatch racing circuit - the site for a paralympics event later this summer.
