Looks like those who were prepared pay top price for tickets, will now be able to get them cheaper then Lesley? Like it :-D

Well done to your niece, Spruce, will be cheering her on :-) Can you tell us her name, or would you prefer not to, understand if you don't want to :-)

Well done Elizabeth, pleasure to see someone coming 2nd who didn't whinge that they should of come 1st :-D

Hello Lynda

I will give you her initals, R A also known as becks. Don't want to put her name on here. Because it will be all over the web. Going out later to watch her with the rest of the family, who didn't get tickets.

Spruce

Wow Spruce, that's wonderful, hadn't realised before, what a great athlete she is :-D

Wishing her well, will be rooting for her, whatever position she gets, we all know how much she has trains, and how much it will mean to her.

Such a shame you can't be there to watch in person, but have a great time at the pub with the rest of the family. I hope the seating at poolside is fit to bursting. -D

I'm even more excited than I was, now I know it's your Niece, really chuffed for you :-D

the family who are there at the pool side all have pink / purple large union jacks with her name on, so she can spot them amongst the crowd. My oh has just gone to fetch grandaughter from work. I'am going to get ready now, so will speak when i get back. Her next swim will be Thursday morning, if she qualifies, the final is Friday night her grandpa's 84th birthday. Good luck to all GB.

Spruce :-D :-D

I've been watching tv most of the day (apart from nipping into kitchen making dinner for hungry mouths :-) )...pity it was so wet for the cycling but was soo exciting, we were screaming at the tele. for Lizzie Armitstead and she got silver :-D

Then watched syncronised diving,amazing but don't know how they're judged as they all look tremendous to me.

Spruce... Good luck to your niece,we enjoyed her swim this morning :-D :-D

Mau

Congratulations to Spruce's niece !! ;-)

Very well done Rebecca!!!

You must be one very proud Auntie Spruce, fantastic race, and what a lovely girl she is, so chuffed for all the family :-D I'm hoping that I will be able to watch her race on Friday in Hyde Park, as I will be working in London then

A question for those who watched both the men & Ladies road race..... did you see that within the first half the men had stopped off for a wee in the bushes, yet the women did the whole race without stopping at all. Now without going into graphic detail, how do the women manage not having a wee, or is there something they "use" that I don't know about? I'm intrigued :-D :-)

Spruce sorry for the mixup but dont matter as we are cheering all GB team takeing part xxx

kids are driveing me potty thay keep turning over the TV to catchup
on all the avents but maynly whatching gymnastices GB team

Hello All

Well i'am back, what a great race the 400 freestyle was, well done to Becks, didn't she do well ? so proud of her she gave all she had and came away with the bronze medal. Good luck to all the GB Team for the rest of the games.

Spruce :-D :-D :-D

:-D Had to laugh some wag has posted on one of my Facebook groups :

' The reason there are so many empty seats is that people think that Paul McCartney is going to sing again' :-D

Just want to say, well done Rebecca, your family are right to be proud of you.

Congratulations to Rebecca :-D.........and this afternoon Tom!! can't wait........Go GB :-D

Lovely photo of Rebecca on the front page of the DM. And a small one inside of her followers.
