What better way to end the Paralympics than with host nation France winning the blind football gold medal at the Eiffel Tower stadium full of a home crowd!

I got to see most of the bronze medal game between Colombia and Brazil which was won by Brazil. I only got to see parts of the France game but that included the penalty shots and the end. It was a very exciting finish!

We had a lot of VIPs for the gold medal game, not surprisingly and that took a bit to manage. The match was a avery exciting finishing at 1-1.

The penalty shoot out was again exciting and the crowd went wild when France won!

The medal ceremony was wonderful for all the fans and I love to sing the Marseillaise, the French anthem.

We were very lucky after the game to see the French players come out and to get onto the pitch for some photos. We got some great photos but they haven’t all come through yet.

We said goodbye to our team of paid staff who were all very sad. They had all worked both the Olympics and Paralympics and worked very long hours so it will be hard for it to end. We always felt like they after our big commemorations. So much work goes into it, and then it’s all over and you feel a bit low for a while.

Someone had organised a volunteer after party for the last night, so we headed off to Cafe Oz at Châtelet which was packed full of volunteers!
