Introduced by Sponsor Peter Walford, a partner with Lawrence Graham, Seb delivered a speech full of humour and insights into his rich, varied and successful life following a gourmet luncheon at Monaco's Café de Paris.

Recounting amusing episodes and situations from his life as an athlete and politician, Seb had the audience in tears

of laughter as he let us into some of the real situations of media secrets and interpretations he has encountered in his travels throughout the world. We'll never see TV clips of some of his races again without a huge smile on our faces.

Seb also shared with us the story of how he got involved in the London Olympic bid, and of his experiences of

working with the UK's political and industrial leaders as he put the bid together, and of is hopes and goals of what bringing the Olympics to London will mean for all the people of Britain.
