I was taken by my grandfather as a little girl of four to this ceremony. He was the chief accountant of Wembley Stadium at the time and said it was important that I should go. I sat just behind the King. I remember the pigeons, thousands, just after war so I think Trafalgar Square was raided! I still have the programme. I don't think UK won anything! I think the simple opening is still impressive. It rained a lot and many sports were badly attended. My father took many of the photos.

Thanks for posting. I love the simplicity and purity of these games. Just gutsy no-nonsense athletes making a go of it. Jolly good show, old chap.
