I get tingly arms every time I think about the moment that London were announced the host city for the 30th Olympic Games.
I remember being at work (way back in 2005) and refreshing the page on the internet to see the announcement come through LIVE.
Would it be London?
Could London possibly beat the favourite, Paris?
Here’s a video of Trafalgar Square in London. You can feel the tension as the crowd nervously await the news…
What a moment!!!
Tonight all eyes will be on London as they open the games with a huge ceremony in the Olympic Stadium. Tonight I will be more than ever to be British. Here’s to a fantastic games. Good luck to all taking part.
