Games that we saw: Women: Great Britain vs Canada and USA vs Angola Men: Great Britain vs Brazil, Lithuania vs Nigeria, Argentina vs France, and USA vs Tunisia

Locals could buy a 10 pound ticket to enter the park and watch live events on the big screen. They also had live entertainment in this amphitheater.

The Coke Beat Box

This Coke attraction is dedicated to Uncle Zag and the entire Zagorski family.

Thank you Pam and Ron,It is so nice to see lots of the shots and to see lots of the places the TV has not taken photos of.My daughter and Grandson live about 5 miles to the east of Stratford....so it made me feel closer to them.I doubt that I will ever get back to the UK again ,so it was especially poignant for me....a BIG THANK YOU!!!!!
