goodbye london

Well - that's the end of the third London Olympics and I have enjoyed them, despite the fact that I haven't got Foxtel and had to make do with Channel 9.

Derrick was chosen to represent the volunteers and be thanked and receive flowers at the closing ceremony.  I got a couple of photos of him and then channel 9 decided they weren't of any interest and inserted 5 minutes of ads!!

A bit blurry, but there is he is on the centre stage!!!

I loved the concert - probably the best were:
-  Eric Idle looking on the bright side with skating nuns, bollywood dancers, Morris men, angels and bagpipes; and
John Lennon singing Imagine - with a previously unseen tape from 1971

It's sad that someone like this had to die unnecessarily but let's face it, he looked better at the 2012 olympics than The Who and Queen!!!!!   and I noticed that Elton John didn't even come?!

Darcy Bussel's dancing was amazing - Goodbye to the lovely flames
