The next morning saw the torch begin its journey to Lincoln with a 300-foot descent down GrimsbyвЂ™s iconic Dock Tower, watched by dozens of docks workers and hundreds of members of the public. Following a trip through Scunthorpe, Wrawby, Brigg and Immingham, the torch ended its 39th day on the road passing through Grimsby and onto Cleethorpes where a cauldron was lit during a special event at Meridian Park. The torch made its way into our region on June 26 after starting the day in Sheffield. However, there will be many who were there when the buzz of the Games was brought right to our doorstep eight years ago during the torch relay ahead of London 2012.Д«efore it had been something we had just seen on our TVs, but back in June that year the Olympic flame was given a grand tour of northern Lincolnshire, taking in Scunthorpe, Wrawby, Brigg, Immingham, Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Louth.
