OLYMPIC fever will be sweeping across south west Surrey next week as the Olympic torch finally arrives in the district.

Councils across Surrey, West Sussex and East Hampshire are holding torchbearer events next week, with one spending as much as £210,00 on a celebration for residents.

The identity of a special surprise celebrity torchbearer who will carry the Olympic flame when it visits Waverley next Friday is being kept a closely guarded secret.

The mystery runner is one of seven torchbearers, including Dan Eley from Witley, who will carry the flame through the streets of Godalming.
