What a great few days we have had in London! We were lucky to get tickets to the track and field at the Olympic Stadium and saw some great action. The whole day was so exciting - the Olympic park is huge and there were so so many people visiting. The weather was fantastic, too hot really. Although almost a week has gone by now, here are just a few photos to remember the day.

There were several other finals and heats going on during our session and also medal presentations. It really was a special day that I will always remember.

London was also looking spectacular when we went into the city on the Sunday to cheer on the Mens Marathon.

| Flags along the Mall |
 |
| The countdown clock in Trafalgar Square (this photo was taken a little earlier in the week) |
 |
| Nelson looking very smart in his Union Jack hat! This was part of the cultural olympiad, where well known statues were temporarily adorned with hats designed by British milliners |
 |
| The Mens Marathon passing on the first of three laps past us on the Embankment. It was a great route for spectators as we could cheer the runners on six times as they went past one way and back the other! |
 |
| We were right next to one of the feeding stations for the runners which stretched way out of sight! |
