Grantham celebrated the Birmingham-staged Commonwealth Games on Monday, when more than 1500 children cheered with a colourful array of Commonwealth flags.
The relay, carrying the Queen’s Baton, began around 10.30am and starting and finishing in Wyndham Park.
Redcross Street, Castlegate and Avenue Road were closed to traffic as part of the route, with the relay finishing along the Riverside Walk.
Rotary fund-raiser Roger Graves was one of three local batonbearers, along with cycling campaigner Roy Redman, cancer survivor Rachael Bradley and charity fund-raiser Hannah San Jose.
Wyndham Park then staged a post-relay mass participation community event, organised by Inspire+ and LeisureSK. Schools have registered with Inspire+ to take part in sessions including yoga, boxercise and low intensity exercise.
