Ten years on, it remains one of the most universally loved moments in British sporting history. And now, for the first time, a Team GB athlete has put their iconic Stella McCartney kit from the London 2012 Olympics’ spectacular opening ceremony up for auction.
The fencer Laurence Halsted, who reached the quarter-finals in the team foil competition in 2012, said he had decided to sell his Team GB jacket, T-shirt, shorts and shoes from the ceremony to raise money for a charity that helps young athletes.
