[quote=OLIVETREE,323693]The closing ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games was held at the National Stadium on September 17, 2008.  
 
China says goodbye to the Beijing 2008 Paralympics in an impressive way: “a shower of 600,000 red leaves, a lawn dotted with 360,000 flowers, a collection of 100,000 post cards, and a mute dialogue between a girl and a flame”

A collection of 100,000 postcards was a novel idea. The closing ceremony dubbed” A Letter to the Future” invited every athelete, spectator and journalist in the Bird’s Nest to write down their good wishes and blessings on a postcard.

London, the host city of the 2012 Paralympics, staged an eight-minute performance at Paralympics closing ceremony.

"These are the greatest Paralympic Games ever," said the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Philip Craven in his closing speech.

As the flame put out, China has finished its 40-day-mission to host the world since August 8th. The torch has been passed to London. It’s Britain’s turn!
