Olympics Homecoming Parade in Manchester
Monday
17th October saw our Olympic athletes parade down
Deansgate and into Albert Square, and along the way they were greeted
by the TV cameras and thousands of proud fans and supporters. And a
downpour, of course. Me and my mum were two of the fans who came out
for the Olympics Homecoming Parade.
We
found a spot halfway down Deansgate, where we spotted Stuart Flinders from Northwest tonight
doing a Piece To Camera. Then the parade made its way down the
street, bookended by drummers and dancers, with a succession of
articulated lorries carrying the Olympic and Paralympic athletes
grouped by their sports. The floats were punctuated by gold Nissan
Leafs, provided by the car brand who sponsored Team GB. Who do you
recognise?

A
great atmosphere (aside from the rain). Today the athletes are in
London doing the same! The weather is likely to be better there. I
wonder if there'll be any imposters in London?!
