ICG Opening Ceremony

This evening was the opening of the 45th International Childrens Games in Lanarkshire. It took place at Fir Park Motherwell. The atmosphere was electric with a warm welcome for all the national teams participating, and a special resounding welcome for the home team.

A total of 1,300 competitors and coaches, along with administrators and delegates representing 77 cities from 33 countries worldwide were present for this International Olympic Committee-recognised event.

Tomorrrow I hope to photograph some of the Track & Field events although I may also look in at the pool for some of the swimming events.
