Chelsea Football Club played a full role on the first day of the Mayor of London's visit to India today.
Chelsea FC was one of Ken Livingstone's London Ambassadors for the trip to promote business, tourism, culture and sport between the capital and India.
Chelsea Chief Executive Peter Kenyon spoke at a major sports conference in Delhi which dealt with the legacy and business opportunities surrounding big sporting events, primarily Delhi's hosting of the 2010 Commonwealth Games and London 2012.
Graeme Le Saux, who was part of the delegation in his role as a Chelsea Ambassador represented the club at the unveiling of a replica "Big Ben" in the centre of Delhi to mark the signing of a tourism agreement between the two cities.
Both Kenyon and Le Saux were in high demand from the Indian media who showed a great knowledge of the Premier League and were keen to check up on the latest transfer rumours as well as Chelsea's interest in Indian football.
Later in the evening Chelsea were amongst the Ambassador party representing London at the Partners in Globalisation reception.
