London 2012 Olympics BBC Closing Montage (Imagine)

BBC London 2012 Olympics Closing Montage set to John Lennon's Imagine sung by Emeli Sande

[@SamDouglas]

We should all take a moment to remember how awesome the london Olympics were.

[@DeaneCockerill]

Tell that to the liveaboard boaters that got turfed off their moorings to make way for the Olympics, only to be never allowed back.

[@SamDouglas]

I will

[@johnavery3941]

Indeed London nailed it from Scotland

[@irongreeny1]

The greatest sporting event for many a generation of Brits. Once the games started the whole country backed them and the feeling around everywhere you went was nothing short of amazing... As for this montage.. The greatest montage I've ever seen. Always brings a huge smile to the face and a sense of immense pride. Brilliant.

[@Emilyrd274]

I miss those two weeks so so much! The most amazing feeling existed in London then :')

[@plumster33]

Four years on and this still makes me cry hope there will be another home games that I see

[@plumster33]

+lesley griffiths oh yes 2012 was one of the greatest Olympics ever

[@AlisonBryen]

Oh goodness you too! I wish I had virtual tissues to hand around!

[@Soxaldinho]

2021 still brings a tear to my eye.

[@JoseTwitterFan]

A monumental year for BBC's Olympics coverage, in addition with a heavy flow of new American viewers dissatisfied with their home country's NBC telecast watching on underground websites & proxys.

[@chips1889]

Found this when in lockdown from cov-ID19.......tears in my eyes.

[@kevinprior3549]

My favourite Olympics ever. In my home country. Watching it again and even remembering it all sends shivers down my spine

[@jeffcarter987654321]

Great Olympics, Great Memories, Great Britain.So proud to call myself British

[@JamesMc.]

Watching this in 2022 there's this creeping melancholy as you realise that these moments are gone forever and the athletes you see at their absolute peaks are long retired from their sports.

[@PalXen]

4 years on and TeamGB is making our nation so very proud

[@BossySwan]

Still makes me weep happy tears 12 years on ♥️

[@sallypitt-williams2525]

Something special about `our` Olympics

[@thefizzyfish]

Am I the onnly person that can watch this over and over again and still cry each time? amazing , so inspiring

[@lilyfeatherstone5673]

These moments make you so proud to be british i love my country and i miss the olympics in our country

[@KS-ht6oj]

In many ways, these 2 weeks showed how united the United Kingdom can truly be. It showed the best of the Britain.

[@hannaplumley550]

Two years on and this still never fails to make me cry. Those two weeks put Great Britain back on the map.

[@thefizzyfish]

Im sorry , no matter who watches this , everyone should find this inspiring

[@2_wheels_good212]

Came to find this after the Tokyo games ended yesterday. I'm not quite ready to let go yet.

[@zisssssou]

@1:13 the boxer lying and crying on the ring is named Alexis Vastine. A french boxer who "lost" his match in controversial manner. It was proved later, the boxing judges from this match and many others were corrupted. After this match, Alexis Vastine felt in a depression. Few years later, in need to rebuild himself he participated to a TV show, he died in an helicopter accident during the shoot. What would have happened if they didn't rob his medal in 2012... we will never know. Rip.

[@scsutton1]

Say what you want about the BBC (trust me, there's A LOT you can say about the BBC these days, hardly any of which is good), but they know how to bring it when the big occasions arrive.

[@ChernovFan100]

I wasn't that excited for London 2012 before it happened but that quickly changed when it started

[@idatekatemoss]

Tears out here

[@FacundoHentsch]

That last shot is of Jessica Ennis crying because of how happy she is. How often does that happen in the average persons life time? I'm not sure I've ever done it.

[@servicekid7453]

[@jpbdude4223]

I was so close to crying. I wouldn’t *imagine* what itv's closing would be like. Probably, sh*t, as most of the time. That was not intended to be a joke... I just realised the word imagine was in my speech 😂
