Students from Bosworth Academy in Desford formed a Guard of Honour to line the route as athletes made their way through the Olympic Park into the Olympic Stadium, for the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.

At the start of the Athletes’ Parade, during the athletes’ procession from the Olympic Village to the Olympic Stadium, the students who joined 249 other schools from across the UK and made up the 2,000 student Guard of Honour lining the route, holding lanterns and banners they had created. Bosworth Academy was selected through the reward and recognition programme of the Get Set network, the official London 2012 education programme.
