The Foo Fighters, London

After years of waiting I have finally seen The Foo Fighters live!! I never thought that it was going to happen so when tickets came on sale last month and me, Hannah and Emma managed to get some I was so excited. As it was on a Sunday and in London we decided to make a weekend of it and drove down on the Saturday. After checking into our hotel we had a lovely Saturday night exploring Covent Garden and Soho and meeting up with our friend Eryna for food and drinks. We had many a cocktail and had a delicious mexican meal at Wahaca before heading back to the hotel getting some rest for the big day! As the event only started mid afternoon we managed to grab some brunch in Camden and then head over the the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The foo fighters were headlining the Invictus Games closing ceremony and so we managed to grab a good spot and have a relaxing afternoon watching the other performances. We got to see the likes of Diversity, The Military Wives Choir, Rizzle Kicks, The Vamps, Bryan Adams, James Blunt, Ryan Adams, Frank Turner, Ellie Goulding and the Kaiser Chiefs before the main act! They were all really good and entertaining so I'm glad we saw them all as I wouldn't ordinarily buy tickets to see the majority of them so it was a nice change. 

One of the highlights of the day was getting to meet Greg James! We were just sat down relaxing and he was interviewing a group of people behind me so when he had finished and the opportunity came about to get a photo with him we jumped at the chance. He was so lovely and so incredibly tall!! 

The whole reason that there was an event on at all was down to Prince Harry for organising the event. The Invictus Games were sporting games for our 'wounded warriors' from the armed forces to compete against each other and still be able to participate in sporting events. Competitors from countries around the world competed and it was a great success. Prince Harry even made a speech so we got to see him too!

As expected The Foo Fighters were incredible and I definitely want to go and see them again! 

On the Monday we decided to head into London again for breakfast and meet up with Emma's cousin. We went to a diner for yummy pancakes and then had a wander about the sights such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. We then met up with her other cousin and we for fro-yo before making the long drive home. We all had a wonderful weekend and I think another one is most certainly on the cards!
