From the blog archives: Barcelona Olympic Stadium 2010
These are some pictures of the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona we took in 2010. Far from being a white elephant, there's a gift shop and a nice little cafe there; so how's that for Legacy?
From the blog archives: Olympia 1991
On holiday in 1991, we found the site where the Olympic flame is kindled. Before we went there I used to think there was a permanent flame there, with maidens in white shrouds being mysterious. I don't think I'd thought it through very well.
The blog at the site of the original Olympic stadium. As with Stratford, the corporate hospitality boxes have yet to be built, but the parking looks OK

Wanstead High School's Mr Wilcox's Olympic Games tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIpHLVymUXs&feature=youtu.be
As performed at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the Redbridge Music Festival.
The School is running a campaign to get the anthem played at the Olympics at some point. Think it might be a bit of a downer to be honest.

From the blog archives: April 09
By June 2009 the Olympic stadium seems almost finished...
And the stadium itself begins to appear
In January 2009 the planning notices are still up
From the blog archives: July 2005
These are some pictures we took a few days after the announcement in July 2005. I think we were a bit confused about where the Stadiun was going to be.
