London Olympics 2012
As the great dome of St.Paul’s reflects the colors of the setting sun, London comes alive with an unrivaled event- The London Olympics 2012
The most awaited day for London , titled ‘Isles of Wonder', marked its beginning on 27th July 2012 at 9 p.m.
The opening ceremony at the grounds of London Games saw some of the finest athletes from more than 200 nations walk through the aisle. With the start of the event, London marked the history for the third time for hosting the world’s biggest and most significant sporting event.
The ceremony was ‘for everyone’ and commemorated some of the contributions the UK has made to the world through technology and innovation. It also showcased sport, inspiration, youth and urban transformation as the key themes and priorities of London Olympics.
The finale of the event was followed by igniting the Olympic Cauldron, formed by 205 copper petals representing the competing nations get-together at the London Games. Seven young torchbearers nominated by Britain’s past and present Olympic greats were honored for the event
