A large part of making the Olympics successful is due to the work of the volunteers. Thousands of them all over the city are doing little things to help visitors find their way around, answering their queries, and generaly making them feel welcome. Shirley and Harry are a husband and wife team who work for Network Rail. They and their colleagues will work 19 days as volunteers during the period of the games. Yesterday, volunteers were handing out bottles of water and ice-creams. They took care of your rubbish (all the rubbish bins are gone for security purposes) helped visitors find the right train or onward connection. All this with a cheery smile. A big cheer to all the volunteers.

Nice of you to show us some of the people that makes the game possible. I'll have an ice cream please.
Hip hip hooray!!!
When I watched the opening ceremonies, I was totally amazed at the huge number of volunteers who participated in just that show. What wonderful participation!
Yay for the volunteers!! I heard they are not getting paid for anything, but I'd do it just to be part of something amazing!
Volunteers are priceless! They all deserve gold medals :o)
I agree with Karine!:)
They do an important job!
So nice you got to pay tribute to the volunteers here - they are indeed priceless :) Hope you're enjoying the games & atmosphere.
Absolutely! Cheers to the volunteers!
Well done, indeed, to all the volunteers. They look very attractive in their pink and purple.
