The games have come to a close. This provides a detailed summary of the highlights of the closing ceremony. Spectacular sights, however once the official part of the closing ceremony was over, the quality of the music, songs and singers to try to entertain the crowd left a lot to be desired and was basically chaotic and disappointing, in my opinion.

Becks was there promoting the London games in 2012. Jackie chan only got a few seconds of airtime....

The London metamorphisizing bus was great.

Au revoir Beijing, till London for the next instalment of the Olympic games.

For those who feel Olympic withdrawal syndrome, you can relieve the symptoms by listening to the uplifting medal ceremony theme.
