what can I say? ......it was amazing!
I never thought I would be able to do it.
I was given a photo of the O2 for Christmas by Ian (hubby) and the date being Thursday 19th June 2025 at 9am. This was for me to go over the O2 in a wheelchair. I had read about others doing it in a wheelchair but it was going to be my turn soon.
Myself, Ian son Simon and Granddaughter Poppy were all going to do it together...
When we arrived at the O2 Poppy and I posed the titanic pose just in case I couldnt do it at the top.
All the staff get my praise what you did for me in a wheelchair up and over the O2. it was a hot day even at 9am in the morning.
We chatted while I was going up and down I told you of my past adventures driving a tank also flying a helicopter etc my O2 experience is up there with flying a helicopter. At the top I was able to do the titanic pose with Poppy...YES Granny did it.
You all pointed out lots of landmarks and points of interest inc the boat hotel, we had time to take lots of photos while watching the planes take off from London city airport. Wont forget waving to Chris and Em at the top Chris couldnt wave back cos he would have had to let go of my ropes...oops.
Also wont forget the cabin crew please prepare for landing video and Carl joining in with me. It makes me smile each time I watch it.
Thank you all so much !!! I really appreciate what you all did for me to make my experience amazing. Granny Gilly (Gill)
Im looking forward to planning my next adventure.
