The torch is due to come through the town on Friday and we would love to hear about your unusual and quirky Olympic tales.

Were you there when the torch travelled through the country in 1948 and will watch it again on Friday? Do you have an old olympic torch or photo of your grandparents holding the torch?

If so please get in touch by calling the news desk on 01474 564327 or e-mail gravesendmessenger@thekmgroup.co.uk
