It kicked off with a rather wet Jubilee for Her Majesty (never mind, we loved it all the same!) followed by the usual excitement of Wimbledon. Then, after the customary moans about the Olympics, the mood changed, the tourists and athletes arrived, and the Olympic and Paralympic Games were a monumental success.
