Britain’s Prince Harry visited local schoolchildren at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park today (04.04.14).
The flame-haired royal was joined by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and proved to be a good sport as he joined the young children playing in park on the climbing frames.
Harry has been quoted saying: "It was fantastic the way it was anyway, but the amount of money that has been spent and the creativity as well, I think it’s brought it to life.
"I think the members of the public will get a chance to come here and for kids obviously they absolutely adore it, playing in the sand.
"I think they realise how lucky they are that they have had a chance to come down here before everybody else."
This visit comes a day before the 560 acre park is set to open to the public for the first time, from 10am tomorrow (05.04.14), since the end of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games.
Boris added: "Our city’s newest park is crammed with spectacular attractions and activities set in acres of stunning green spaces.
"This is now a must-see destination for Londoners and visitors alike and forms a glittering centrepiece for our ambitious regeneration plans in Stratford and beyond."
This is Harry’s first London engagement since he took girlfriend Cressida Bonas on a romantic skiing trip. They were flown to the exclusive resort of Shymbulak, located in the mountains above the city of Almaty in Kazakhstan.
