On Saturday 1st September I spent the day at the Paralympics, and I had a FANTASTIC time.
I had a park ticket, which meant I could go into the cheap seats in four of the arenas (when seats were available). I got to see A LOT of sport and it was brilliant value for a £10 ticket. (Thank you again, Sara <3)
