COUNTDOWN TO THE BIG DECISION...
1235 BST: Dame Kelly Holmes, double Olympic champion, Trafalgar Square
I'm very nervous and feel quite sick. Whatever happens we've put in a brilliant bid and have done ourselves proud. The support here is absolutely marvellous. If we get the Games it would change the whole of Great Britain and leave an excellent legacy. The Olympic movement and spirit stays with you for life and it would change everyone's perceptions on sport.
1233 BST: Nigel Adderley, BBC Radio Five Live, Paris
It is incredibly tense outside the Hotel de Ville. Hundreds of people are now crowding round radio stations broadcasting into the open air trying to find out the latest news.
1230 BST: The final part of the decision process formally gets under way.
