Saw her today along with Heide Rosendahl at a 50th anniversary function in Belfast. There was a lovely interview with them both and afterward Dame Mary was bopping away to the ABBA tribute band in 1970s style at the age of 83.
The 200metres why does it give me goosebumps , watching it and the brilliant commontary of Ron Pickering, and remembering we are the champion children programme he presented that he inspired a generation of kids to do sports for fun. and enjoyment.
I’m still welling up now. Thank you Mary Peters. I was 10 when I watched Mary come through to win the Gold Medal for G.B.
Who can ever forget that smile!!
Dame Mary is a legend! Very sporting behaviour between all three women on the podium.

I love these memories - timeless.
Thanks for uploading!
Still watching our legend!
Great to watch and listen to the legendary Ron Pickering commentating.
Good to see Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones picking up a bronze.
My heroine !
Seriously. A thumbs down ?
Get a grip.
How can you do very well
East Germany third. Clearly someone messed up the meds.
Brilliant post.
Mary Peters won, but Rosendahl was more stylish.
