The Olympic torch will be arriving in Sutton on Monday.

Thousands of people are expected to line the streets to cheer on runners as the torch makes its way from Beddington to Rosehill.

Streets along the route have been marked with official Olympic flags for the occasion, on what will be the 66th day of the torch relay, which began back on Cornwall in May.

Only a handful of runners are actually based in Sutton, and where you can see them is marked below.

A host of entertainment has been laid on along the route.

Live music will be performed at Carshalton Ponds from 1pm, there will be entertainment in Carshalton High Street and various stalls and activities in the Memorial Gardens and at Honeywood Museum.

An arts festival will be held in Sutton High Street from noon as part of the London 2012 Festival, while a summer sports and fun day will be at Sutton Life Centre from 11am to 4pm.

Sutton Council leader Councillor Ruth Dombey said: “This is such an exciting day for Sutton.

“I’m sure lots of people will come and join in the torch relay celebrations.

“It should be a magical day and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
