  1. L:51.5079,-0.1282: Wonder what the Queen will serve at this afternoon's bash. None of this lot want the crusts cut off their sandwiches
  2. L:51.5078,-0.1283: I'll be honest - plenty of room in Trafalgar Square. No-one naked in the fountains yet. Maybe I'll lead the charge
  3. L:51.5087,-0.1250: Nicole Cook's waving with the enthusiasm that only an endurance athlete could manage. Massive smile across her chops
  4. L:51.5098,-0.1222: Crowds a touch more sparse along The Strand. Percentage of confused tourists grows
  5. L:51.5123,-0.1152: Outside the Australian embassy. Crowd on pavement thins out dramatically. Heh heh
  6. L:51.5134,-0.1136: Passing Royal Courts of Justice. Team GB found guilty of massive gold robbery
  7. L:51.5141,-0.1088: Huge cheers for Chris Hoy and his triple-layered bling. There are people running down side-streets to give him a bellow
  8. L:51.5142,-0.1044: Crowds getting bigger as the Olympinauts reach Ludgate Circus. "Aren't there a lot of them?" says the woman next to me
  9. L:51.5127,-0.0961: Bright sunshine at St Paul's, and screams from the schoolkids as Phillips Idowu throws them a casual salute
  10. L:51.5130,-0.0908: We're off - big cheers from the construction workers and City boys for Victoria Pendleton
  11. Lord Mayor looking very spiffy in his red robes on the balcony of Mansion House. Someone's been dishing out St George's flags. Poor choice
  12. This is more like it - they're three-deep in front of the Bank of England, and not just to withdraw their savings L:51.5133,-0.0896:
  13. Nice chat from Tasha Danvers on lorry 4 to a punter walking by: "Don't step in the horse-poo..." Pesky police horses
  14. More policemen than fans at the start - just seen the first lorry go past. The Blue Peter presenter on board was doing most of the waving
  15. Hope the weather sorts itself out for Thursday's Olympic bash - no-one wants it raining on their parade...
  16. Farewell Beijing. I need some new flip-flops
  17. Watching closing ceremony with Chinese locals. They've just viewed the London segment in stunned silence
  18. What do you mean, it's almost over? I won't have it - I want more. Three more weeks! Three more weeks!
  19. Sitting on a bus three seats away from Steve Ovett. Legend. Will watch when he leaves for sign of finishing kick
  20. Three finals for Usain, three world records. There's still time for him to enter Sunday's marathon
