I was lucky enough to work for the Organising Committee for the Games for almost 2 years so this was an exciting night for me and my colleagues! The blood, sweat and tears that went into planning the event all became worth as the ceremony began, then the teams came out and marked the beginning of what was to be the 'Best Commonwealth Games Ever'. Despite being absolutely dead on my feet I managed to get to the ceremony with some of my work friends and although it is mostly a blur I know it was a very special night.
I am very proud to have been part of this event, I met some amazing people who will be my friends for life and learned some invaluable skills. It was especially exciting for me having grown up in Glasgow and seeing the city come to life, I'm pretty sure I'll never have a job quite like it again in my home town.
Hopefully I'll have the chance to work on a big event like the Commonwealth Games again, you never know maybe one day it might even return to the UK!
