We had two torchbearers come to our school for our Olympics Closing Ceremony (we had 2 weeks of Olympics themed lessons and sports before the end of term".

They both spoke about the torch, why they'd been nominated, how they felt - it was extremely moving. The younger children oohed and aahed at the bling but the adults were quite choked up.

The female torchbearer had to rush off to another appointment, but the male stayed in the playground afterwards, speaking to staff, parents, children and having photos taken. I asked Tiger if he wanted one, but he was completely oblivious. I just wish I'd had one taken of myself, but it seemed mean to jump in in from of all the children and parents, and too awkward to wait for them all to disperse!
