Olympians return to the Lunch Table

During the 2012 Olympic Rowing I managed to Lunch in the Oakley Court Hotel  near Eton Dorney Windsor, as the Olympic Rowing Finals which I had managed to get a Ticket for actually finished about 12 am

We had been at the 1984 Olympics, in Los Angeles on the day Mary Decker slipped behind Zola Bud.

My friend Cherrie  at Lunch. in 2012 after the Olympic Rowing Final outside in the Oakley Court Hotel Garden Servery area - which was not recently flooded.

What turned out on the day ?  Not a crowd of Olympic Champion Procession cheerers but Swans and Geese along the River Thames

Crowds on the Strand London waiting for the Olympic procession.
