What a truly amazing day From the moment we arrived at Greenwich station and throughout the 20 min walk to the park the atmosphere was electric. The streets were lined with bunting & red, white & blue flowers, everyone was smiling, volunteers couldn't do enough to help and were singing and dancing It was a like being in a theme park or at a huge carnival, so hard to put into words but simply wonderful
Anyone can visit Greenwich - you don't need tickets for an event, you certainly don't need to be horsey and to be honest just sitting on the grass outside of the arena & over looking the Thames (with thousands of others) was very special indeed. There were stalls everywhere, beer tents etc, just like being at a free festival! Of course it helped that the sun was shining In fact it was a tad too hot (no shade in the stands) but I know we shouldn't complain :lol:
The event itself was jaw dropping and Charlotte winning gold was just the icing on the cake :thumb:
Here are some pics & a couple of vids from my very memorable day
Can you see the over head camera on the wire? I was well impressed with this, seeing it whizz back and forth all day kept me amused :lol:
Here's the camera whizzing along! Clicky
The arena Clicky
Charlotte receiving gold - you may want to turn the sound down for this (& it's not me screaming!!)!!!
