London 2012 – A Royal appointment
Posted on 30th July 2012
The highlights of yesterday could fill pages but being a few feet from the Queen and Prince Phillip at lunchtime was definitely one.
I also had a once in a lifetime chance to sit and chat with a former gold medalist sprinter about her life and medal winning experiences. I did do some work too, removing a foreign body from a top track cyclists eye and replacing contact lenses for a polish volley ball hero.
Not a bad day at the office!
