I forgot the photographer who stood on the stairways blocking our view of one of the bends at the Velodrome. I got up and politely said excuse me you're blocking people's view. Just waved her hand at me and muttered something under her breath. Then moved a minute later. She was upset I interrupted her chatting to her friends. How rude of me to interrupt her social gathering that she can have in half an hour or so when the action finishes.

It's good fun. Have a nice day. I have tickets to the cycling at Brands Hatch on Friday. Looking forward to that.

As a long time motorsports fan, and having watched his near-fatal crash this is a special moment in the Paralympic games for me - fantastic achievement.

Here is his story.

Ive been on holiday for a few days and have missed the opening event.  I have just read that we won bronze in Boccia, which is my sons favorite and his is regional under 14's champion in Wolverhampton.
