OLYMPIC torchbearer Norma Ashton was the first one to carry the flame in Kirklees.

Her torch was lit on Westbourne Road in Marsh and she walked down to Gledholt Roundabout as thousands of people who lined the streets cheered her on.

Take a look at the video above shot from the streets of Marsh showing just how many people turned out and the excitement as the Olympic Torch parade and torchbearer Norma passed.
