I am just about to go on leave out of Poland. One of the things I plan to do is watch lots of the Paralympics live on TV. One of my best experiences thus far was the farewell ceremony for the Polish Paralympics team last Friday.
They are a fantastic bunch of dedicated athletes, who are gunning to win lots of medals just as they did four years ago. I think Poland can be very proud of the whole team. My fingers are crossed for all of them, not least Justyna Kozdryk, who spoke so movingly at our Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Birthday Party and is looking to improve on her silver medal of four years ago.
Good luck to all of you!
