All dressed up and arriving at the O2 Arena in good time, we had a nice meal in one of the many restaurants. We weren't impressed when we had to queue in near freezing conditions for over 40 minutes outside the entrance while security got the okay to let us in.
This was forgotten when the show started, seeing the spectacle of celebrities presenting awards to other celebrities, and we were very privileged to see the special awards given to Lord Coe, Sir Chris Hoy and David Wier.
I got the tickets as a surprise to treat my mother and she thoroughly enjoyed the whole day out.
