Well the Olympics are over and we now look forward to the Paralympics in the hope they will not be the forgotten ‘after-show.’
The Olympics spectacle we have just witnessed I think has caught a lot of people by surprise. Many it seemed just didn’t think we could deliver, and yet we have not only delivered we have delivered and some!
Sandwiched between the feast of sporting tragedy and triumph we had the spectacles of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies that demonstrated British eccentricity at its very best and certainly put a huge smile on my face and make me want to say, yes, I am British.

For the sporting achievements we showed that bulldog spirit that just would not give up but battle through, tears, tragedy and triumph aplenty.
It was also very much Team GB with recognition not only of those on the actual field but those family, friends, coaches and companions who had believed in the athletes and gave them every support along the way.
Building a lasting legacy has been a watchword of the Games from the beginning. There are many ways this has already begun to be demonstrated and I am sure there will be many others ways it will manifest itself in the years ahead.
