ceremony in east London. Niamh Clarke-Willis joined with Lord Coe, Locog

overhead the venue of Olympics 2012 in Stratford. There were about
40,000 spectators at the Stadium to witness the official opening that
also comprised of a laser light show. Lord Coe said it was wonderful
feeling. Yesterday night was only the beginning of the story.

to be opening the stadium, adding: "I'm just so grateful to everybody
who's come here tonight to help us celebrate this moment in history."
"The seven years have just flown by," he said. "Tonight is only the
start of the story. We want thousands of young people to be inspired to
take up sport. We hope that for a few of them it will be the start of
their journey."
