"I've heard
some people questioning why we are having this parade in the middle of
October
"I say this - there's never a wrong time to celebrate the best
achievement by a British Olympic and Paralympic team since 1908.
"There is no wrong time to celebrate the best cycling results by any
team ever in the history of the sport, or the incredible achievements of
our rowers, sailors and swimmers, who have the managed the greatest
aquatic triumph since Horatio Nelson won at the Battle of Trafalgar
itself."

good speech. |
