The streets of Haringey were packed out to see the Olympic Torch Relay wind its way from Tottenham to Alexandra Palace this afternoon.
Thousands of spectators, sometimes up to 10-deep, came out in the heat to watch the historic event, which included a family festival at Bruce Castle Park and the arrival of the Flame at Alexandra Palace, where former Olympian Daley Thompson lit the cauldron.
The Journal has published a taster of the day on its Facebook page, made up of photos taken by readers, our reporters and others.

Full coverage of the fantastic day will follow tomorrow.
