The Olympic torch will be carried through Newcastle next June before heading to the Olympic Stadium in London for the 2012 Games.
The exact route will be confirmed closer to the time but what we know already is that on Thursday 7th June the torch will be carried through Newcastle, before heading for Dundrum, Clough, Downpatrick, Crossgar and onwards.
The lucky individuals who will carry the torch will be announced later this year.
