    What will the last song be, WSS?

    Airport, Leaving on a Jetplane?
    Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds?
    See You On the Other Side by Ozzy Osbourne?

    I vote for Goodbye Girl by Squeeze.

    WSS - brilliant - thanks for that.
    Are you there now?
    ValleyGary isn't as impressed as he was expecting to be.

    I'll say it again for the hard of hearing. I was being sarcastic. Read my earlier posts.

    or maybe

    Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
    Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
    With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
    You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

    Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
    Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
    And when she shines she really shows you all she can
    Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

    Everything about the past two weeks including this closing ceremony has been absolutely amazing. So proud to be British.

    The whole Olympics have just been one huge showcase for Great Britain. We still have an awful lot to offer. Fantastic.

    The John Lennon bit explained.....

    This is original footage from the famous Imagine photo shoot from 22 July 1971. It's been exclusively remastered by Yoko Ono and the roll of film has never been seen before in its entirety.

    The audio has also been remastered at Abbey Road studios by Yoko and music director David Arnold.

    101 fragments of a broken sculpture form the face of John Lennon.

    A choir of 100 people from Liverpool sing Imagine. The choir includes members of the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Choir and Liverpool Signing choir.

    70,799 small panels are mounted between audience members' seats to create the audience pixel screen. Each panel has nine LED pixels - nearly 640,000 in total.

    317km of cable connects the panels to the central control.

    What will West Ham do with all those pixels ?
