London olympics 2012

Millions of people around the UK get ready to welcome the world to London in 100 days’ time


*260 Guardsmen from the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Welsh Guards mark 100 days to go to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
*

Among those getting ready are a total of 70,000 volunteers, already a significant way through the million hours of training they will receive ahead of the eight million hours of volunteering they will deliver. Over eight million people have said in a recent survey they are getting ready to line the streets and cheer the thousands of community heroes carrying the Olympic Flame around the UK. Two million school children are learning about the values of the Games and the countries and cultures of the 10,000-plus athletes from over 200 National Olympic Committees coming to compete in the UK.Spectators are also getting ready: eight million Olympic and Paralympic tickets will be in the hands of British sports fans by the summer.

Re: London olympics 2012

Re: London olympics 2012

OOOOHH I have LOADS of pics frm the Opening Ceremony rehearsal yesterday...but they said to keep them a secret and not tell anyone.
BRILLIANT SHOW!

Re: London olympics 2012

ME TOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm actually gonna watch it properly this year, the show was just brilliant, was really impressed!

Re: London olympics 2012

Cool! I was at the same place as another gs member!

I really can't wait til friday to watch it again. Looking forwards to the bits we didn't get to see.

Re: London olympics 2012

Not sure :confused:

Re: London olympics 2012

ummm…okay…let me rephrase:

did you drive to Startford or did you take transit?

Re: London olympics 2012

^ Oh right! I got public transport cos there is no parking available at the stadium (plus I can't drive!).

Getting there was fine. Getting home took time, as it took me around 40 mins just to exit the stadium and get to Stratford underground station, which would normally take about 5 mins. But I guess that was to be expected with the sheer volume of people all requiring the Jubilee line!

Re: London olympics 2012

WOhooo :aisha: you guys have been enjoying.

Told my cousin to collect some thing for me near Croydon from Stratford, he was it 'll take 2 an a half hours to get there which normally takes 40 to 50 minutes.I said don’t go :mad:

Re: London olympics 2012

Uzzy and Maddy don’t forget to take pics next time :naraz:

Pictures taken by my friends :aisha:

Pics are gone

Re: London olympics 2012

^I did take pictures, we were just told not to put them up anywhere cos they wanted to keep the opening ceremony a surprise!

:(

Re: London olympics 2012

I took loads of pics too, but Danny Boyle told us to save the surprise til Friday.

It would be good if you took those pics down Lippy cos it kinda ruins the effect for people who are waiting for friday. It's like soap spoilers. Even the media haven't published any pics.

Re: London olympics 2012

:eek: You are the only one following the rule in whole Britain.LOL :hehe: I think the opening ceremony would be different and much more entertaining. :aisha:

Re: London olympics 2012

^No I’m not, loads of people have been keeping it quiet, I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun and I’m no the only one:

Olympics opening ceremony: ‘Surreal and crazy’

Re: London olympics 2012

Ok , I didn’t know :frowning: removed the pictures. Waiting for Friday :aisha:
