It’s exactly two years to go until the Opening Ceremony of London 2012 and to mark the occasion organisers are recruiting thousands of volunteers - you could be one of them.

Colleges, universities and students are being invited to get involved with Open Weekend, the annual UK-wide celebration counting down to the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which this year runs from 23 to 25 July.

The first group of apprentices working on the Olympic Park to become fully qualified trades people have been recognised at a special graduation ceremony.

Identical twins with London 2012 ambitions are making a splash this week as they graduate with first class honours degrees from Leeds Metropolitan University.
