Looking at my pics now following the parade, the only people I recognize are Lee Pearson and Claire Balding (wtf?)
I clearly missed the Athletics, Boxing, Cycling and Diving floats.

Why are the 'floats' just big lorries without the back? :confused:

Thought the 'sponsors' could've forked out a few bob to make them a bit more eye-catching/colourful/fun/interesting???

Oh they've all run out of sponsors now lol. The pots gone.


Nicer this way, no Macdonalds or Coke adverts hiding Hannah Cockburn and Ellie SIimonds.

Just in from seeing the parade.

I managed this morning to get to end of the mall. The unticketed part but me being stupid went to get a drink and couldnt get back. Grrr. When I seen trafalgar square I was mad at my self because of crowd at 10.30. So carried on towards mansion house.
So glad I did much less people

Ha perfect front row seat for the parade

Got some fab pictures. Loads of Chris hoy, Rebecca adlington, the brownlee brothers, Tom Daley and many more.
Couldn't get any of jessica Ennis or mo Farah as they were on other side:(

Fantastic atmosphere. Great finish to fantastic summer in GB!!!
