Some tickets are still available for the evening celebration when the Olympic torch comes to Dover later this month.

Last week the organisers said the tickets had been over-subscribed and all 16,500 had been allocated, 80% of them to people living in the Dover district.

But the district council has issued a message today saying some tickets are still available for the seafront stage show which features two-hours of entertainment, rounded off by popular duo Rizzle Kicks.

The show will also include the arrival of the Olympic torch relay and the lighting of a cauldron.

The evening finale will be a firework display, which is open to everyone, and which, according to the organisers, could attract another 12,000 spectators.

People are being limited to five tickets each, and they can be applied for here
