Title: Modified Double-Decker at the Olympics!
Post by: Jeremy on August 23, 2008, 02:30:38 AM
If anyone plans to watch the the Olympics' closing ceremony:- apparently after the Olympic flame is handed-over to Britain there is going to be a 10 minute presentation by the London 2012 organisers which is largely based around a double-decker bus!.

According to the description I have just read, at one stage:

"The bus will then transform itself, with the top half folding down in segments to show a privet hedge cut into shapes of the London skyline: Tower Bridge, Battersea Power Station, the Houses of Parliament, while a phalanx of black umbrellas will be unfurled alongside.

Then X-Factor winner Lewis will emerge from the roof on a rising column to sing an RnB aria before guitarist Page emerges for the duo to perform a new version of Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love'.

As the song nears its conclusion, former England captain Beckham will appear on another lift, accompanied by Tayyiba, and will kick a football into the crowd of athletes, sparking a live link-up to the handover party outside Buckingham Palace. "


No idea what kind of bus it will be, but I wouldn't mind betting that they will have chosen a Routemaster.
