John Day stands outside his shed on his plot on the Manor Garden Allotments at the heart of the 2012 Olympic site on April 11, 2007 in London, England. John has had an allotment on the site since 1972 growing vegetables for 35 years. Manor Gardens, bequeathed 100 years ago to be allotments ‘in perpetuity’ by their original owner Major Villiers, sit in the proposed North central section of the Olympic Park and are to be removed to make a footpath to the stadium.

A member of the Britannia Coconutters waits his turn to dance boundary to boundary in Bacup, on April 7, 2007 in Lancashire, northern England. Every Easter Saturday for over a hundred years the men have performed pagan dances to welcome Spring and ward off evil Winter spirits. The Coconutters derive their name from the time when coal miners would wear coconut shells on their knees for protection in the pits. Their blackened faces are to disguise them from evil spirits after the dance has finished and also reflects the coal mining traditions. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
