The farewell of the volunteers

As we were leaving the Olympic stadium after the Closing Ceremony all the volunteers had lined up the exits and were bidding us goodbye. They were visibly very moved at their last night of "duty". It was very moving for the spectators as well.
For me, the volunteers were one of the most impressive elements of this Olympiad, they always smiled and were willing to help but also extremely effective in their job.

I heard one of the crowd control volunteers bidding farewell to his post by saying something like:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes I will have to say goodbye to my beloved loudspeaker. We had some great fun together but now I will have to let her go. Goodnight" :-))))
