Along the way it will stop off for a quick tour of the world-famous Headingley Carnegie Stadium and cricket ground, and will end the day by making a starring entrance at the major overnight celebration event to be held at Temple Newsam Park. On Monday 25 June the flame’s journey resumes from Leeds Town Hall, and travels through the city centre taking in The Headrow, Millennium Square, Briggate and County Arcade before heading to the Royal Armouries. It will also pass over the historic Leeds Bridge, before heading to Hunslet, stopping off at the John Charles Centre for Sport for a lap of the running track. It then passes through Beeston and Leeds United’s Elland Road home before heading through Morley and out of the city.
