Further details
A visiting group of dignitaries from Rio (Olympic hosts in 2016) is in London for the week.
For head of deliverance Ian Fletcher and his team, the mission is simple. All they have to do is to meet the Brazilian delegation and take them by coach to the Olympic Stadium, where they will meet Head of LOCOG Lord Sebastian Coe. What can possibly go wrong?
