After all the wonderful sunshine we had during the week it was decidedly cool, overcast and windy but that didn't dampen anyones enthusiasm.
This is most probably the only chance I will get to go to the Olympic Stadium, I don't have tickets for any of the events and if it ends up as a football stadium I doubt I will ever go there !
The Stadium has an 80,000 capacity; yesterday there were 15,000 people there.... it was quite a queue to get in and go through the airport style security. We were all sent a long list of things that we couldn't take with us... or wear.. including anything that made a political statement. This does make me wonder what sort of country we are living in; this is the sort of level of control and censorship that we would have said was unacceptable in communist China, but it is here, now, in the UK...
I think it s fair to say that there is still a fair amount of building work to finish, I guess being late with this project is not an option !
Due to all the security controls and restrictions I only took my handbag camera with me; these are just a couple of the photographs that I took, I still need to look through the rest and also the video !
It was a fantastic atmosphere and lots of the runners were stopping to take photos or holding their cameras out to film themselves running !
