Summer Festival of Sport
Olympic legend Mark Richardson will be the special guest of honour at Hammersmith & Fulham’s Summer Festival of Sport.
Mark, who won a silver medal in the 400 metres relay at the 1996 Olympics, will be signing autographs and meeting budding sports stars throughout the day at the event, held at the Linford Christie Outdoor Sports Centre on Sunday August 31.
