Today, as part of my day as an apprentice at SkillsActive, I went and saw the Olympic and Paralympic Heroes Parade which was an amazing, breathtaking experience. The atmosphere was ecstatic as everyone in Trafalgar Square was wating for the heroes of Beijing to appear, and as they appeared they were waving and smiling at the fans.  The support for  Team GB was fantastic, flags were being waved and chants were being shouted, with school kids chanting ’Rebecca Adlington’ and everyone cheering the atmosphere was incredible.

There was alot of media taking pictures and video’s of this event, and everyone else  was taking pictures of this amazing time too, I watched one lady jumping up and down and other people were climbing on bulidings to take pictures. Boris Johnson delivered a speech, and there were a lot of gifts given out for free such as oyster card holders, Great Britian flags and the best of all gifts was a Plastic Lottery Hand which was a big blue foam hand. There was loads of them, however I never had a chance to get one of them.  Oh well, maybe at London 2012 I can get one. I can’t wait until London 2012, and I bet others can’t either?
