And the ceiling actually takes place in Weymouth and Portland and -- the free -- ticketed event.

And then we have other events like the Morrison which takes place in Hyde Park and -- -- the road cycling Hampton court palace.

And which are all free for people to actually experience.

And then a common thing that we -- Anderson -- a series of life sites where and their massive television screens and it sits right London UK.

But people can actually -- students -- times.

The hotel rooms it is wonderful to come -- -- still players available no not tall when we get to games and the -- 120000.

Hotel rooms in Wilmington and wanted to keep benefits all the games is that I had -- -- she's actually increased.

So there -- more three star properties in London and I've ever been -- really create value proposition for these days any.

He's keeping NI on the hotels obviously prices go up but -- anybody keeping -- I am like price gouging that you sometimes -- -- these events.

We do -- blunt is actually affects who assisted has the London this is to -- -- they have businesses signed up to ensure that it's going to be -- parents felt really I don't know time.

For him this look to him -- about what -- -- this summer I heard Mitt Romney called the -- wanted to help out if you've got half the I think it might be busy this kid up but this.

-- the other thing is it if you can't get a ticket for one of the ticketed events it's not like there's nothing to do in in London over it.

There's no honeymoon really really fortunate as you alluded to the top of the peace they have so much going on them but some this year and one of the things it -- the Olympics is a piece called the cultural and -- -- people may not be aware out.

And so in the summer from -- Pacific ten back there's the London 2012 festival which is basically one of the -- biggest arsenal because festivals.

With different -- -- -- options and west and life and in the heart of the fifty happening feet tides.

And whole -- of exhibitions.

Music home.

Happenings everything from David -- too -- to keep lunches or really something for everyone.

Where it really is an exciting -- -- Britain is now with the with the jubilee as well I guess is bringing and a whole lot of things.

The Tivoli is this is really catching a lot contests and largely on the back -- my way things that you believe for producing don't know -- celebrate sixty years of -- queen being on the throne.

And there's a whole host of events tight that's when I was you know we like the pomp and ceremony at the -- have a good time so and there's a river -- in the -- and seven miles of -- -- There's did you believe you can see -- Harris is at -- is that it's inconvenient in the need to it.

This whole host of exhibitions around and between sixty years on the phone -- that couldn't diamonds and so for the first time in a long time really get.

Don't know where they gonna be -- -- Differently on the spot that -- so many different looks sorry and her -- okay calm but that.

This obviously with so much going on and that's -- this is owned all of these things on top of the usual Wimbledon tournament -- all of that kind of thing.

Any idea how much Britain expects -- from terrorism.

Two billion path as a -- -- -- you're million dollars he says about fifty billion dollars in the current exchange rate against 73 I think three yeah.

Right up and what backed security concerns I guess is that there's a whole long in this world in which we live now there's a -- of -- security built into this.

And the metropolitan police relevant agencies are working closely together to make sure this is -- seek safe and successful games basically.

And as an organization know -- visit Britain and the most exciting year you can remember for the country.
