LONDON -- With a little British pomp and a lot of British
pop, London brought the curtain down on a glorious Olympic Games on Sunday in a
spectacular, technicolour pageant of landmarks, lightshows and lots of fun.
The closing ceremony offered a sensory blast including rock
'n' roll rickshaws, dustbin percussionists, an exploding yellow car and a
marching band in red tunics and bearskin hats. It was all delivered in a psychedelic mashup that had 80,000
fans at Olympic Stadium stomping, cheering and singing along. Organizers
estimated 300 million or more were watching around the world.
