October 18 2004:
Our Kelly

Britain’s Olympic and Paralympic medalists from Athens took part in a parade in London today. The undoubted star of the show was 34 year old Kelly Holmes who won gold medals in both the 800 and 1500 metres after years of gutsy determination. This ‘double’ had not been achieved by a British athlete for 80 years, and that made it all the more sweet.

The event also served to win the public’s hearts over London’s bid to host the Olympics in 2012. Let’s hope they succeed.

More photos of the event can been seen in a separate gallery HERE .

Fantastic shot of a worthy champion. You really caught the spirit of the event and the Kelly's character. Great work.

No Stewart, I was in the public area, about three rows back, but it was still hard work to get a shot as good as this. I tried to see myself on the BBC news, but they seemed to have overlooked me!

Were you with the press photogs? I only ask because this looks like it was taken from the same vantage point as the C4 News cameraman.
