I mentioned here that our tickets for the Olympic Football at Old Trafford, Manchester had arrived but like many people we were still a little disappointed that we hadn't managed to buy tickets for a London event.........
Imagine my excitement when I received a phone call to say that I had won two tickets to watch the ATHLETICS AT THE OLYMPIC STADIUM!!!!! I had entered a draw at our local BMW showroom a few weeks ago but didn't for one second expect to win......
So off we went to London last Saturday, 4th August 2012 and the city looked amazing.....

There are 83 statues of Wenlock, the London 2012 Mascot and Mandeville, the London 2012 Paralympic Mascot and we spotted these two cute ones.....

We arrived early at the Olympic Stadium, keen to soak up the atmosphere.....All the London Ambassadors we met were so helpful and friendly and delighted to pose for photos...
My prize included Champagne and refreshments in the BMW VIP Lounge and then we were shown the new concept cars....
We soon found our seats close to the Olympic cauldron and just fifteen rows from the track - what a fantastic view of all the action!

Words can't describe the atmosphere and our excitement as the events began....
Watching so many talented athletes from so many countries was just breathtaking.

It was a sensational evening and the three gold medals for Team GB was the icing on the cake!
So many spectators had made such an effort to support their team........
and many had travelled so far......
It was a pleasure and privilege to be part of such a happy and historic occasion......

What an adventure you have just had, miss b, and thanks to your story and wonderful photos, we got to be there too. I was scheduled to fly to London at the end of this week, but the trip has been cancelled, and I am a bit wee disappointed. So thank you for that glimpse of the Olympics!

Lucky you, being able to sit right there in the midst of it all! My husband would love to be that close. He has been watching the Olympics, as he was an athlete in school. The costumes are so festive, and it shows so much spirit. I'm surprised you got so many great pictures. I think I would have just been too excited to take pictures. What a day to remember for you.
