Listen as he talks about the Para-Olympic Games, buying tickets, surprises, security and the weather. Learn how the Olympic Committee has woven the International Inspire Project for youth around the world into the event. Also learn how Queen Elizabeth honored him in 2000 with the title of CBE and how he works with BBC TV and the 2012 Olympic Committee. Jonathan and I also talk about the London 2012 Festival kick off in Northern Ireland in the Spring and how people can view the Olympics on large screen televisions all over Greater London during the games.
