Once the pitch had been won for the Paralympics to be hosted in London 2012 the selling of the festival of sport has continued through the games themselves.
The product has been outstanding.
It was surpsrisingly in so many ways.
Great sports with great elite athletes giving their all, superb support from spectators.
The profile of some paralympians have become powerful enough for their faces to endorse the sponsors and brand ambassadors.
I was lucky enough to visit the Olympic park on Day 9 of the festival. Here are some snaps I took on a brilliant September day.
