I helped construct the Olympic Site, tell the story of the Greatest Show on earth, and am on site for the Legacy build until 2014.

Getty Images - Olympics through the Ages
Last night I attended a Getty Images function at their Gallery in Westfield Stratford, called Olympics through the Ages, showcasing some of the most iconic Olympic Photography through the ages. Some images are instantly recognisable, some less so, but all are stunning.

Inside the largest McDonalds in the World - London 2012 Olympic Park
The vast two-storey restaurant will serve up to 1,200 customers an hour and sell £3million of fast food during the Games.
At 3,000 sq ft the building, next to the Olympic Stadium, is bigger than the current largest McDonald’s, in Moscow.
The Russian restaurant will regain its
title on September 9, however, when the London branch is bulldozed
after the Paralympics closing ceremony.
It includes 20 till points and 1,500 seats.
It is one of four branches in the
park, including two open to the public, one for the athletes and
officials in the Olympic Village and one at the press centre.
Altogether they will serve 1.75million meals in 29 days, with Britons accounting for an estimated 85 per cent of customers.
The main restaurant will offer some of
the best views across the Olympic Park from its first-floor balcony,
which can seat 150 customers.
It will be staffed by 500 of its top-performing employees from 85,000 in the UK, with 200 on a shift at any one time.
