Presenting the flag at the Handover celebrations
Gurpreet, London 2012 Young Ambassador
I am a Youth Ambassador for London 2012. I had the honour of travelling with other young people to Singapore when London’s successful bid for the Olympic and Paralympic Games was announced back in 2005.I was invited to the Visa London 2012 Handover Party

I felt a great sense of pride and honour when I saw so many people looking up at me. I was truly proud to be a part of the day’s celebrations. When I introduced myself, the crowd went fanatical and the adrenaline rush I felt was indescribable. My friends and family were there on the day and the response from them afterwards was very positive.



After taking part on stage my family and I watched the rest of the show from the audience. It was great to see all the live acts and there was a real celebratory atmosphere. I believe that the day was a great success. London opened up to the world and welcomed everyone to London in 2012. It was a great day to see how many British citizens supported and welcomed the Games to London. Everyone was smiling and cheering and had a warm glow coming from them which really portrayed London at its best!
