Crowds welcomed the Olympic torch as it was carried through Broadstairs and the surrounding towns.
As it passed a few hundred metres from Dane Court, Mrs Susan Flory took over the torchbearing. Mrs Flory is a parent of past Dane Court students and a long-time supporter of the school and our local community. Mrs Flory handed the flame on to Team GB tennis olympian Elena Baltacha.

Earlier in the day, year nine Dane Court student Chloe Gambrill carried the flame at Ramsgate harbour.
