In March this year some of the team from the Opening Ceremony had the pleasure of working with children from Tollcross Primary School in creating good will messages to the athletes of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
We travelled across Scotland, collecting nearly 400 warm and welcoming
hand written and illustrated messages from children from 5 schools. Prints of the messages will be distributed to the athletes at the end of the Opening Ceremony. It may be that this isn’t shown on the broadcast but do know that it will happen. We took some wonderful photos of the children enjoying the storytelling and message-writing workshops. We may feature some of these ‘making of’ photos in the Opening Ceremony programme and in the media guide.
The Opening Ceremony starts at 9pm on Wednesday 23 July.
