THE 2024 Paris Paralympics promise to be a "landmark" celebration of sport with Great Britain sending its highest ever representation of female athletes, organisers said today.
Some 215 GB athletes are taking part in the Games, which kick off tonight when the opening ceremony is held. An estimated 65,000 spectators will be watching the athletes from more than 180 countries march along the Champs-Elysees to Place de la Concorde before the competitions start tomorrow.
It is the first time in the history of the Paralympics that the opening ceremony, which starts at 6pm UK time, takes place outside a stadium.
