UK media have disclosed the details about the London’s 8-minute-performance at the closing ceremony of Beijing Games. British football star David Beckham, Leona Lewis,Guitarist Jimmy Page, dancers from ZooNation will appear during the eight-minute ceremony.

It is reported that Beckham’s performance will highlight the eight-minute ceremony. He will stage the free kick on a double-deck bus.

As important elements of London’s culture, ballet and breakdance will be shown. Dancers from ZooNation, the Royal Ballet and CandoCo will culminate with London Mayor Boris Johnson receiving the Olympic flag from Beijing mayor.

(Double-deck bus represents the culture of London.)

A survey revealed that British people don't have much enthusiasm for 2012 London Olympic Games. UK is the source of modern soccer and badminton. They invented the sports but they did not show much enthusiasm. No wonder they didn't do well in the two events.

Great Britain cannot enter the Olympic football, because they are not allowed to have a GB team. So it is not that they don't do well - they just don't do at all. It has to be said that we will never be able to beat the likes of Lin Dan at Badminton though. That man is unbeatable!

GUEST1670 Double-deck bus represents the culture of London.

What does this mean? The old bus is a culture heritage?

Baron, Badminton enjoys high popularity in China. China has a powerhouse of good badminton players. Do today's British people still like playing badminton, especially the people in the town of Badminton?

David Beckham will show off his free kick on August 24? I hope he will have a good form on the double-deck bus.

GUEST93972 The london bus is a well known artifact just as wooden shoes or tulips for Holland.
The bus is also typical of London city so its choice is a good one.
English culture as such is more recognised for good manners than a bus. However London is the capital and the
red london bus is a worldwide symbol for the city and relates to England as its capital.

Eight minuets is a long time. Most people would have said “good night love’ way before that wouldn’t they?...ha

GUEST8335 The 8-minute-performance was boring. A bunch of sleazy poorly-dressed "punkers" rock and roll. Is that the modern London? Why didn't they present the images of gents and ladies of Great Britain?
