During the three-day visit, the Commission, led by Chairman Denis Oswald, received updates on the progress made since its last visit in July, and visited a number of venues, including Wembley Arena.

“We can see the pieces of the puzzle falling into place now, and the big picture is rapidly becoming visible,” said Mr Oswald.

“Preparations are advancing at an astonishing rate and LOCOG, the ODA and their partners should be congratulated for the high quality of the work they are producing across this complex project.”
