Best thing I ever did: Paul Cooney, 15, Hove, Sussex

England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson was there and made a short speech.

I was captain of the YMCA team, and for me the highlight was playing against the IFK Goteborg, the Swedish under-16 premiership team. It was fantastic to meet so many people from so many different countries. Some of us even picked up a few words of Swedish and we loved the food, especially the meatballs. We made lots of new friends.
