Grand after-party to close Olympics

QUAZl ZULQUARNAIN ISLAM from London
The Spice Girls, black cabs, a miniature Big ®en’ GeorSe Michael, The Who and Adele are expected to feature in a gala closing ceremony of the 30th Olympics tonight, as London calls time on the games after two weeks of frenzied action across the city and beyond.
Titled, “A Symphony of British Music”, the show is expected to provide an elegant and fun mash-up of the best of British music from the last half-century. Lon-don 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe has described it as 'an after-show party' and said: "It's not anything desperately profound. It's not the opening ceremony but I think it will be great. It's basically a tribute to British music over the last few decades. It's fun."
The closing ceremony will include a handover to the next
host city, in this case, Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilians are preparing an 8-minute slot for tonight.
The Brazilians are set to offer up a lively mix of music, dance and culture including big name stars and characters from Brazil. Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio will lead the Brazilian cast and the main themes of the Rio performance will be based around entertainment, cultural diversity, the contagious energy of the Brazilian people and an invitation to Rio.
For London, the closing ceremony director, David Arnold is calling the production "the greatest after-party in the world."
"If the opening ceremony was the wedding, then we're the wedding reception," Arnold told the Daily Telegraph. Arnold is one of Britain's leading contemporary film soundtrack composers, having scored five Bond films, and more recently the TV series Little Britain and the critically acclaimed Sherlock.
The Who, George Michael, Muse and Ed Sheeran have all said they will take part in a show that will include performances of 30 British hit singles from the past five decades. The Pet Shop Boys, Annie Lennox and Fatboy Slim will also be on hand to get people dancing.
The worldwide broadcast will start at 9pm London time on Sunday and feature more than 4,100 performers. It will take place across the stadium, with specially constructed sets. Arnold has composed original music to link segments together and all tracks have been pre-
recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, with only vocals performed live.
Traditional matters of Olympic protocol have been incorporated, including the march of more than 10,000 athletes and flagbearers. The medal ceremony for the men's marathon will be featured, and there will be a package of filmed highlights from the Games. Speeches will be made, involving the Queen, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, and
Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympics Committee. There is a flag ceremony, which will include the national anthems of Greece (to honour the birthplace of the Olympics), Great Britain (as host of the Games) and Brazil (the nation hosting the 2016 Olympics). The President of the IOC will declare the Games closed and, at the climax, the Olympic Flame will be extinguished.
