This is not in any way to diminish what I think is your spectacular achievement, but it is just one story. My family got tickets for the Paralympics. We were unable to get any tickets for sessions at the Games that we wanted to go to. At the very last minute, at a pretty hefty price, we were able to go to the O2 to see the first Saturday - absolutely amazing men's gymnastics - but it was half empty. Why was that? This was the morning. It might have filled up in the afternoon, but in the morning.

Thank you. Just following on from that, I understand you have done your security budget, but there is another thing which is security checks of individuals. When you have 70,000 volunteers, you will have to get security checks on every one of them. Who is going to do that with the police? The police charge for it. It takes time. So, what are your arrangements for that?

Are you going to appoint a member of staff or even, indeed, more, to co-ordinate the engagement with young people because they need very special facilitation? I can understand you might not have something yet but I think it is very necessary.
