Announcing the Visa london 2012 party to the world

Sutveer, Communications team, 16 Jun 2008

This morning I was at The Mall to tell people about tickets for the 'Visa london 2012 party' happening on 24 August. I was there as part of the announcement about the celebrations that are going to take place around the UK after the Handover Ceremony in Beijing.

I was really nervous beforehand - the room was full of media, sponsors and staff. Tom Daley (the diver) and I went up on stage together, which was good - it was nice to be up there with someone else.

As well as telling people to go to www.london2012.com/tickets to register to go into the ballot for the free party, I also told everyone about our Live Sites - big screens that are going to be in every nation and region of the UK showing action from Beijing, the Closing Ceremony and then the concert.

I felt good afterwards - everyone told me I did alright!

    Awesome!! Such a great idea to have a free concert and show the world how we know to party. How about forgetting the whole ticket idea. We didn't need tickets to the Proms or Party at the Palace concerts for the Queens Jubilee and 1 to 3 million people easily managed to squeeze into the mall/st james's/green park.Regardless, I hope I can be part of it. Can't wait!
