Last night was a night to be proud. Amongst triumphant athletes and BBC montages, members of the public, games makers and people glued to their TV screens (like me) sat and watched history being made in front of our (very wet) eyes!
As people from the past, present and future graced our TV screens it was hard not to have a full heart and look on to the wonders of being British. Sebastian Coe said that ‘we did it right’ and as I sat there in agreement, I scrolled through my twitter feed to see the numerous tweets and retweets ultimately thinking the same.
One by one musicians old and new sang their hearts out at this glorious opportunity, no doubt thinking that one day they’ll look back and say, “I was there.”
When you sit and think about London 2012 it’s disheartening to think that we will never see this again in our lifetime, but at the same time how awe inspiring it feels to say “we were all there”, “we made the games what it was.”
I look back a week and remind myself of how it felt to be up in the stands waving the British flag to call our athletes home! At the time of peace protests, civil wars and high crimes rates you would think that the atmosphere would almost be frosty amongst competitors but it’s not. The atmosphere was outstanding, breathtaking and a true true example of how small those (large) things are in this big big world!
It's a Grad's World After All...
