  • What do you think - was the London 2012 Paralympics the greatest Games ever? Has it changed our perceptions about people with a disability and inspired and excited the world? Tell us what you think! This video features some of the biggest upsets - Alan Fonteles beating Oscar Pistorius in the 200m T44 race, Will Bayley losing in the table tennis finals and Jody Cundy's cycling disqualification. It also features some of the biggest highs of the Games - former F1 driver Alex Zanardi winning his first gold in Brands Hatch and Ellie Simmonds winning her race and being presented a medal by British Prime Minister David Cameron. It also features Jonnie Peacock's epic win in the Olympic Stadium. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement. The IPC organizes the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games, and serves as the International Federation for nine sports, for which it supervises and co-ordinates the World Championships and other competitions. The IPC is committed to enabling Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and to develop sport opportunities for all persons with a disability from the beginner to elite level. In addition, the IPC aims to promote the Paralympic values, which include courage, determination, inspiration and equality. For further information, please visit www.paralympic.org.

    Not just the Paralympics, but the Olympics as a whole, in London in 2012, will always be one of my favorite Olympic games of all time.

    The Olympics gets huge attention every year. 2012 was the year the Paralympics became equal. London was the year it wasn't called a disability but an ability. I find everyone who took part truly inspirational.
    Proud to be British.

    Absolutely incredible. I was there when David Weir won the t54 5000m final and had tears in my eyes! It was such a brilliant day out for my family. The spectators and staff were all in good spirits and the facilities were fantastic. What an amazing summer. I'm proud to say I was a part of it

    Fantastic! What a summer we were treated to here in London. As a family we saw, countless gold medals, world records and some of the finest sport in the world. As well as a great opening and closing ceremony befitting of the greatest Paralympics ever. Bravo...

    Genuinely can't explain it, I'm not an emotional person, but just sat and rewatched this and couldn't stop crying. I was so proud of my country 4 years ago, this whole event changed the perception of negativity and failure that my generation grew up with. These are the kind of values I can relate to - the struggles towards achievement that are worthy of commendation. It sends words of encouragement to everyone that their most daring dreams are possible!

    I was there as a volunteer; every time I see a video like this I fill up with pride knowing that I was part of the team that made it happen (and I also got to see some amazing sport as well!). The athletes were amazing and inspiring and I hope that the tagline of Inspire a Generation will come true. Here's to Rio.

    I spent so many hours watching these games on RUclips. It is a shame that they were not broadcast on network television. These men and woman train and compete at a level that most able bodied people can only dream of. I hope that the Rio games will be picked up, so the rest of the world can be inspired and not look at a persons disability, but see the person. Well done!!!

    This is truly amazing and inspirational, so sad they don't transmit them in my country (Mexico) I'm friendo of guy who won 2 Gold medals, 1 silver medal and 1 copper medal in those paralympic games, he's mexican too and his name is Gustavo Sánchez, we met in High School and he's an amazing person.

    It was an experience I wish to relieve again like I did last year, I love London and your universities, I went to UCL for 3 years hoping for masters soon here. I will hopefully come back to London soon next year. From an American. :) . Trumped our Olympics, think we need to step up a gear when we win again ;) .

    Attended 5 Paralympic events & loved every one. Wish I could have got tickets to more events. My favourite moment was Richard Whitehead storming to victory in the 200 metres - I have watched the race over and over again and it still has the wow factor. Delighted to see he was awarded an MBE. It's amazing how many Paralympians I now recognise after London 2012.

    Without a doubt the best Paralympic Games to date.
    The home of the Paralympic movement. A record 2.8 million ticket sales. An enthusiastic and welcoming British public on a high from the recent Olympic success. And the home team was massively successful too.

    The one thing that was disappointing was that the BBC did not cover it. Channel 4 did a good job but i cant help feeling that the countries number one channel should of been involved as they broadcast world wide and could of given more varied coverage, i thought this sent out a negative message about how we view disabled people in this country but am glad the whole thing was a success
