I’m an Olympicaholic and was desperate to touch or see an Olympic medal or Olympian during London 2012. Well I did get to see a medal – in fact, I saw hundreds – every single one since 1904 at an Olympic Exhibition at the Royal Opera House. Doesn’t count though does it?

And here I am with Olympic Torch. If the flame had been lit my hair would have been on fire, which would have been fun, no. Thumb aloft in homage to Sir Paul.

Roll on the Paralympics!
