Ok, so at around 8.45pm Friday I will be on my bike in a yellow jersey going round the main stage on Trafalgar Sq for about 2 minutes with 20 other riders for the ceremony finale. Going rehearsing tonight :D

See you afterwards!

What time does the presentation do kick off then?

I can't stay too long so I'm afraid I'll miss your turn Sylv. Make sure you make some noise when he takes the stage folks. :D
