London Paralympic Games

London Olympics Closing Ceremony

LONDON OLYMPICS SHOW JUMPING FENCES

Show jumping fences give you a quick tour of London, Greenwich and  The History of England.

Describe each one.

"THIS IS FOR EVERYONE"

 

It was a parade of diversity: seven billion pieces of paper, one for every human being; a hope for the future, sustainability and peace; the journey from rural England, the steam engine, the industrial revolution, the suffragettes, the sixties, Mary Poppins fighting Lord Voldemort, the National Health Service, the British family of today, cosmopolitan  London, The Thames,  Mr Bean, David Beckham carrying the Olympic Flame, the fireworks and the brilliant performance of Hey Jude by Sir Paul McCartney,  made  this Olympics Opening Ceremony the most beautiful one I've ever watched!
