Michael Haynes

Our competition winner - Michael Haynes “I’m thrilled to have won tickets to the 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. I never thought I’d get the chance to attend this event – it’s an amazing opportunity. Visiting the Olympic Park today with the Scottish Widow was a fantastic way to celebrate and my wife and I are looking forward to meeting Roger Black who will be our host at the London 2012 Games.”

Emma Barlow

Our competition winner - Emmar Barlow “It’s incredibly exciting to have won tickets to the 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and an honour to attend such an iconic event, I’m looking forward to meeting Roger Black and touring the Manchester Velodrome with Sarah today was the icing on the cake; I’ll be supporting her all the way.”

Stuart Webb

“I'm over the moon to have won the chance to witness a once in a lifetime event.”

Rita Stockley

“So excited couldn't believe it was true. Stomach had butterflies and was bursting to tell my carer, dream come true.”

Joanne Wood

“After not been successful in the ballot for tickets I thought my chance of going to the Olympics had gone, so when I received the news I had won this experience I couldn’t believe it, I’m absolutely thrilled!”

Laura Deery

“I'm absolutely thrilled to have won tickets for London 2012, which I'm sure will be a truly memorable experience. I plan to boast about it to my friends and family for months, if not years!”

“You don't win tickets to an Olympic Opening Ceremony every day, so when the call came telling us that we had won we could not believe our luck. Roll on 2012.”
