ABOVE: With long jump gold medallist Greg Rutherford

Family and friends have asked me to pick a favourite moment but that has proved impossible, there have simply been too many. I was there to see Usain Bolt become a living legend, Bradley Wiggins posing on a throne at Hampton Court Palace and who can forget ‘Super Saturday?’ In 44 adrenaline-fuelled minutes Jess Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah completed a golden hat-trick the likes of which we may never see again. The fans inside the Olympic stadium should take a bow too; the noise they produced was unforgettable. I removed my headphones so I could savour the moment; it was off the Richter scale!

I’m so fortunate to work with some of the best broadcasters in the business. More than 50 million people in Britain (90% of the UK population) watched at least 15 minutes of the coverage on BBC television. What on earth are they going to do now? Radio 5 Live has been at its very best during the Olympics. Commentators like Mike Costello, Simon Brotherton and Mark Pougatch deserve gold medals of their own for capturing the moment so brilliantly. If you’re suffering withdrawal symptoms, go online and listen again to the very best bits at bbc.co.uk/5live

I was lucky enough to sneak into the closing ceremony but I was a reluctant member of the audience. It meant it was nearly over and there was an overwhelming sense of sadness.
