The name of Joan Scruton may not mean a lot, even to those who follow disability sports regularly, but a memorial service this week will celebrate the life of a woman who dedicated her life to disabled sport and was one of the key figures in its early development.

A lot of people in athletics won't want to hear this, but there was a buzz and energy at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium on Saturday , a buzz I have not known at the event before, and it was all because of one event and one man.

I was commentating for 5 Live as Dwain Chambers stormed through to win with a time bang on 10 seconds.

That edginess and buzz wasn't there on Sunday, even though . Everybody I spoke to uttered phrases like "after the Lord Mayors show" and "doesn't it feel different?". And it did feel different.
