MARCH 7 - THE Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips, the world eventing champion, has today criticised the choice of Royal Park Greenwich Park as the equestrian venue for the 2012 Olympics.
Phillips, who won the 2006 world title, questioned the legacy that would be left in Greenwich and told today's edition of The Times newspaper that Windsor or Burghley would be better venues.
She told the newspaper: "What is annoying is that they put something there and then take it all down afterwards.
"What's the point of that?
"Why don't you do it to a space that can be used with a legacy, not Greenwich Park where people walk their dogs?
"I thought that was the whole point of bidding for the Games."
