[ August 13th 2004 ]

Model Nell McAndrew today championed London’s 2012 Olympics effort by raising the first of hundreds of Back the Bid flags. On the same day of the opening ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, the Leeds-born model posed for photographers with the huge flag and with Buckingham Palace as backdrop. The brightly coloured London 2012 flags will be flying along The Mall, Horse Guard’s Parade and Parliament Square Green in the capital to publicise the city’s bid for the games.

McAndrew, who also carried the Olympic torch on its journey through London earlier this year, attracted crowds of tourists as she posed on a bright yellow cherry picker with the huge flag on The Mall. Earlier this year the sporty model ran along the same road to complete the London Marathon for charity.
