He said: “I’m proud to be given this honour.
“I’m going to really enjoy the day.
“Because I’ve always been playing in the band I don’t get the chance to walk about and actually see what else is going on during the Games so I’m looking forward to that.
“I’m also going to enjoy watching the heavy events and the sports which will be taking place on the day.”
