David Cameron called the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games a ‘golden summer’ that brought the country together. Even after being reminded of the £9bn price tag a majority of people were remembering the Games fondly at the end of the year. With the spotlight now on Rio in a couple of weeks’ time, we’d like you to look back and share your favourite moments of the London Olympics four years on.

Do you remember the Games with fondness, or are the comparisons with England’s World Cup-winning year of 1966 greatly exaggerated? Maybe you still live in the vicinity of the Olympic Park and have experienced the lasting improvements or disadvantages of the Games first hand?
