ANDY Johnston has now participated in three Olympic ceremonies – having taken part in the opening ceremony of the London Paralympics as an athletic marshal and flag bearer.

And this weekend he will again be in action, taking part in the closing ceremony at the Olympic Stadium.

Andy, who was part of both ceremonies at last month's Olympics, said: "The Paralympic opening ceremony was so much fun - there was a huge amount of energy in the stadium, from the performers as well as the crowd, everybody was excited to be there.

"Seeing the smiling faces of athletes with disabilities of all kinds was awe-inspiring – we all just wanted to give them something they will always remember, and I believe we did it," said the professional photographer.
