Paralympics

Just back from the athletics.  What an experience!!!!!!!!!!
Saw Richard Whitehead get gold - noise in the Stadium measured as louder than a Jumbo jet taking off.
Also saw Houssein Omar Hassan in the 1500 metres.  He finished last in 11 minutes 23.50 seconds (two laps behind the runner who finished second last in 4 minutes 30 seconds) having hurt his ankle at the start.  Everybody was on their feet clapping him for the two laps - very emotional!
No problems with travel or security.  Lots of people with cameras and long lenses who seemed to get in ok but I did not take the risk.
