According to BBC Sport here, the details of London's role in the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony have been revealed, with the eight-minute slot hailed as "London loud and proud."
Musicians Jimmy Page (LED ZEPPELIN) and Leona Lewis will perform on Sunday as London unveil their blueprint for 2012.
England footballer David Beckham and cyclists Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Shanaze Reade will also feature.
Bill Morris, London 2012 director of ceremonies, insists London will not compete with China in terms of scale.

But while the opening ceremony focused on 1,000 years of Chinese history, the closing event will be much more about showcasing "the diversity and colour of modern China".
