Sadly the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games have come to an end. What an amazing accomplishment for all concerned. We as a nation have something we are really proud of, it just shows that we can still be Great if we put our minds to it.
I for one really felt we had bitten off more than we could chew, especially after Bejing. Everything connected with the games has been well thought out. The journey of the Olympic Torch, taking everyone through our varied scenery, drawing focus to our history which showcased monuments and historic sites. The runners chosen to carry the torch allowing the world to see what wonderful, amazing people we are. Danny Boyle's opening ceremony of the Olympics, which was exactly right; endorsing what the journey of the torch had depicted. The Paralympics following this by showing our inspiration, amazing skills and talents. The athletes themselves, what stars they all were, giving their best for their countries. The closing ceremonies for both were something to be proud of. Then lastly the parade of the atheletes through the streets of London, the vast crowds showing with action how much they had all become their heroes.
As a BT Storyteller my last item has been posted I've gained so much from my year's journey. I know we are all so much richer from this experience, surely we've regained our pride. Let's have a good legacy to this and continue showing the world how great and wonderful and unique we are.
