There was also an exhibition of work undertaken by young people based on the Olympic and Paralympic Values including both written and artwork. One of my favourites was this one, a quilt:
And this one, on the theme of inspiration:
If this is what our Paralympic Handover programme inspired, the whole of the UK is in for a treat from the creativity and inspiration of the UK’s young people in education over the next few years.
As well as representing LOCOG for local or regional media who attended the event, I was also asked to speak with the young people as a whole and try to inspire them even more about the Get Set programme and Kent's own activities. Finally I presented a flag commemorating Paralympic Games Handover day to one of the starring young performers, on behalf of the young people, and a representative of Kent County Council.
It was great that different school groups were so invigorated by the day and their preparation activity that there was a real clamour to have their photo taken with the flag as the event closed.
But the surprises of the day didn't finish there. Walking back to the station, I found this wonderful art installation by the side of the road. Entitled 'other people's photographs', it is clearly one of a series, presumably installed by the local council, and shows a running race taking place on the road I was walking along, at some point the past (it seemed to be around the '70s). 
The best part was not only that it showed activity on that road, but also that effort had clearly been made to marry up the display position with the original spot from which the image was captured. Art is clearly a matter of taste, but I thought this was brilliant.
