I had the pleasure of attending one of the best sporting
events I have ever been to last night.
The Paralympic opening ceremony can only be described in
one word – amazing.
It is disappointing, that judging from comments on twitter
that people could not get a full flavour of how awesome this event really was
as it was interrupted by commercial breaks. Perhaps this is why the Olympics
and Paralympics should have been sold as a package in terms of TV rights.
The pride I felt was mirrored by those watching around me.
What a wonderful spectacle for the UK and the World. What a fantastic way to
highlight the Paralympic games.
During the Olympics I was glued to my screen, and I know I’ll
feel no different about the Paralympic games.
There are a number of West Midlands Paralympians involved
with Team GB and I wish them the best of luck along with everyone else
associated with Team GB.
