March of the athletes

The flagbearers of the participating delegations enter the Stadium in single file, closely followed by the athletes – a show of unity after 11 days of intense competition.

After the Paralympic Flag has been lowered, the flag of the country hosting the next Summer Olympic Games (Brazil) will be raised. The Mayor of the Host City (London) then joins the President of the IPC on the rostrum and returns the Paralympic Flag to him. The President of the IPC then symbolically presents this to the Mayor of the next Host City of the Games (Rio de Janeiro).

Extinguishing of the Flame

The Paralympic Flame, which has been burning in the Cauldron since the opening of the Games, is then extinguished – a poignant and moving moment for all those involved in the Games and the audience at large.

Creative team

A host of world-class British directors and producers are leading the artistic team to stage the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the London 2012 Games.

Artistic Director Kim Gavin is the creative force behind some of the biggest live events in recent years, including the Concert for Dian in 2007, the 2010 Help for Heroes concert and Take That’s critically acclaimed stadium tours – Circus in 2009 and Progress in 2011.
