Friday, August 24th 2012 07:00

The town is just one of five in the whole of Yorkshire to receive a Paralympic Lantern

Excitement is building in Beverely for the arrival of the Paralympic torch.

The towns used to hosting such events, after the Olympic Torch passed through earlier this summer.

Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart says its a great for the area to be involved.

"It brings together the whole community to support it, we were ringing the bells at the beginning of the Olympic ceremony and I'm sure Beverley will be just as enthusiastic for the Paralympics and want to give those games full support as well."
