Special Olympics 2009

Sunday, July 26, 2009

Last night we were lucky enough to have two tickets to the British Special Olympics 2009 opening ceremony. My company support the games and the athletes which is how we got the tickets.
There were fantastic parades with these beautiful swans and some giraffes (pictures of them to follow)
Here are some of the athletes waiting to take their seats. They were all so happy and smiling so wide.
We had some lovely Scottish music

Some great dancing
The Walkers tiger with some of the athletes
Lots and lots of speeches
And the Olympic flame - unlit in this photo
The giraffe

I'm not a big sports fan but this was a very special evening, for spectators and athletes alike.
