I hope those responsible for the Olympic Games to be held in London in 2012 will have the good sense to ensure that beautiful Greenwich Park is not used for the horses (there are already purpose built venues available), Her Majesty opens the event with three rousing choruses of "The Barley Mow" and a cry of "Let the games begin"(that should be enough) and Pearly Queens are in attendance with both Morris dancers, Pipers and members of the Fire Brigade collecting for charity!
