New Short Film Marks Two Years Until Opening of London 2012 Paralympic Games

The Foreign Office has marked the two years stage before the start of the London 2012 London Paralymic Games by launching a short film featuring one of the UK’s most successful Paralympians, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson.

In the short film, ‘See Britain’, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson – who won 11 Paralympic Gold medals and the London Wheelchair marathon six times – comments on how far the UK has come in 35 years in terms of the provision of disabled facilities and access, and how the UK today demonstrates what an inclusive society can look like.

She hopes the 2012 Games will be used as a platform to showcase to the world what is possible to achieve both on and off the track.
