London 2012 - show me your olympic pictures!

[Lisa]

Hi everyone,

I would like to introduce a tag 'london2012' for the Olympics and also like to give us an opportunity to share photographs of the event in this thread :) I know that some did this for the Diamond Jubilee and I really enjoyed looking at everyone's pictures.

I went to the fencing last night where it got quite dramatic with several appeals and the South Corean not leaving the planche for over an hour until it was decided that the German Britta Heidemann had won and thus was entering the final.

This is great! Wonderful idea to tag them. They give us onlookers a different perspective on the Olympics than we see in the press.

[Rona]

I love this! I'm an ocean away from London, but I will surely be enjoying seeing a different perspective from what we see on TV1

[Yvonne]
