After addressing the conference, Coe visited the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford, with a Blind Football skills demonstration by members of the England Blind Football squad.

Later he took part in a Young People's 2012 Question Time panel, answering questions from local teenagers and listening to what they hope the Games will achieve.

Coe said: "We have always said that London 2012 is a UK Games and conducting a question time with young people of Herefordshire and Worcestershire was a great chance to hear about the issues that interest and concern them."
