Eversden looks back on The London Olympics 2012    24th August 2012           Features Index            To the Paralympic pictures
With the Paralympic flame being lit on this day, it is timely to take a glance back at the Olympic Experience up to now through the lenses of local people. This selection, in alphabetical order of contributors’ first names and therefore not in chronological order, is from pictures by Alan Norton (an), Derek Blatch (db), Diarmuid Coyle (dc), Edwina Mullins (em), Hazel Swindells (hs), Jean Boyd (jb), Jill Marshall (jm), Marianne Cassidy (mc), and Margaret Tebbit (mt). I am very grateful to all those people.

Most of the pictures speak for themselves of either a very special day out, or of the thrill of the moment. Some need a word or two of explanation. (My captions may not be completely accurate.) You may wish to ask the photographers for more detail. (DF)
