📲 Want to watch live sport and original documentaries for free? Check out our website: oly.ch/WatchLiveSport
The children's choir perform John Lennon's Imagine at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The Ceremony featured performances from such acts as Take That, Spice Girls, Queen and Jessie J.
Every two years, the world's finest athletes gather at the Olympic Games - a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that captures the attention of billions of people around the world. However, the Games are about much more than just sport. They bring the Olympic values to life and provide a global arena for a unique combination of sport, culture, education and ceremonies.
At the Olympic Games in London 2012, about 10,500 athletes from 204 countries compete in 26 different sports, comprising 302 medal events. Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.
Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few.

No matter how many years pass since John's death, the impact of losing such a brilliant mind and beautiful soul still stings as much now as it did then. I wish I could've had even five minutes to sit with John and talk. Hearing John's singing mixed in with modern covers always brings goosebumps to my skin because, although I know it's a simple dubbing of his recording over the singers, it's almost as if he's brought back to us for that tiny period of time. I don't like the Olymics, but I love John's work (just as I love Paul McCartney's, George Harrison's, and Ringo Starr's work). This really touched me, and I had to leave a short commemorative word for John.

+Clarence Dass Exactly. The music does not force you to be what you can not, does not manipulate you nowhere. Only forces you to imagine if all you're listening to really happen. It makes you think. The most beautiful song of all time.

*1940-1980.* We will always remember you John. I miss you ever so much, I’m sure the whole world does. You were only hoping for love and peace yet it never happened. I love you Mr. Lennon.

I was the right piece of the cheek puzzle in the John Lennon's head, I still can't quite believe I was there doing this routine, it was immense! The puzzle itself was quite heavy to carry and to manouvre but it looks lush indeed at the end! :D

[@account-lp9du]

Wow what an honour!!!

[@matthewwolfe3943]

It was awesome. I just hate he was murdered in my country. Shameful.

Best song ever written!

[@gretalittle9466]

John is still here today influencing us and bringing us together. On the 9th he has been dead for 35 years, almost as long as he was alive. RIP John, I hope your message one day becomes true.
