I feel so lucky at the moment. Lucky to be British, lucky to live in London, (very) lucky to have got tickets and lucky to have seen Usain Bolt, Mo Farrah, David Rudisha among many, many others and to have seen history being made. It will take me a while to process the last couple of weeks so for now I leave you with a few images from the last couple of nights (pictures from earlier in the Games can be found on instagram).

Aww. I always feel slightly depressed when things like this end. I loved seeing all your pictures on Instagram and these are some amazing pictures here! It's great that you were able to go to so many events. Thanks for sharing with us. :)
Great round up of the past two weeks. I can't believe it's over!
How awesome. So sad the Olympics are over.
Isn't Oscar Pistorius so incredibly inspiring? I really enjoyed hearing his story.
These are incredible!! Thank you for sharing!
London did such an amazing job with the Olympics. I have serious let down right now... missing my daily dose of inspiration!
I felt the same after the Vancouver 2010 games ended. The games were so inspirational for Team GB, definitely who I was cheering for (after Team Canada). I just remember the overwhelming sense of pride and joy that those 17 days brought to our city. You are so lucky you were able to go see so many great events. It's a once in a lifetime thing.
This is just so crazy how close you were and that you live there where all the action was! I'm so glad you were able to take pictures and share with all of us :) it's sad it's over though :(
Wonderful photos! You were so lucky to be a part of such an amazing experience.
Hon, you're so lucky to be able to get to the games and enjoy some moments of history! I hope you had a fabulous couple of weeks! x
I've loved reading about your firsthand olympic experiences! SO COOL.
So incredible that you had the opportunity to be there to see all of that.
