Goodbye London 2012... See you in Rio 2016!




What a great day!
Up at 5.30am and over to Thurrock to catch the park and ride bus to the Olympic Park.
Up to the top of Anish Kapoor's Orbit and then tickets for the Men's Water Polo, Bronze and Gold Medal matches...
Serbia edged out Montenegro to take the Bronze, followed by Italy versus Croatia. The Croatians taking the Gold.
Then on to the closing ceremony and the extinguishing of the Olympic Cauldron.
Great performances from Elbow (my favourite), Brian May, The Spice Girls, Ray Davies, George Michael, Madness, The Who, Beady Eye, Muse and the London Philharmonic Orchestra... we even had a couple of performances from beyond the grave!
An unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience... I'm so proud to be British :-)
