London said farewells to the Olympic Games with a romp through British pop and fashion and bought the curtain down on more than two weeks of action that ended with America being at the top of the sportting world with 46 gold medals and Russia only 24.
There was another huge crowd at the stadium in east London late on Sunday August 12 and millions of people were expected to watch this amazing show on TV.

Pet Shop Boys (The Gardian) |
The Who sang the final song "My Generation", an echo of the London 2012 motto which was "Inspire a Generation".The Olympic flag was handed to Eduardo Paes, Rio's mayor, before International Olympic Committee president Jaques Rogge declared them closed.
The Olympic Flame was extinguished, fireworks filled the sky, the athletes walked off.
You can also watch and listen to the Olympics official song Flame and read the lyrics of the song. I think, that the photos of Olympics opening ceremony will be interesting for you.
