    I remember my grandfather Haraldd telling the story of how he attended the opening ceremony at the 1912 Stockholm games, together with his father, J F Jansson, a local politician from Tungelsta. It is a beautiful stadium.

    Hi!

    I would like to include this photo in my "Olympics" Data Lifeboat. A Data Lifeboat is an archival format for Flickr photos.

    Would that be OK with you?
    Thanks!
