It is marvellous to see the Olympic Stadium full EVERY DAY for EVERY SESSION. I'm sure this has never been seen at any previous Olympics, but this week in the London 2012 Olympics the Stadium has been full for every session.
Morning sessions are qualification heats in the main, but that has not deterred the British public. The first athletics session of these Olympics was last Friday. The stadium was full, but, of course, our nation's darling Jessica Ennis was competing in the first events of her heptathlon. So we might have thought that the stadium might not be full for every session.
But it has been.
The cheers for every race have been wonderful. The ROARS every time a British athlete runs or competes in the field, or even appears(!), have been remarkable.
I think we Brits know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we have been determined not to let it pass by without participating in any way we can.
If people have not been able to get tickets for paid events then they have taken to the streets for the cycle races, the marathon and the triathlons.
There are a few days left of this magnificent spectacle.
It's been marvellous so far.
