Looks like your wish came true Victor:-) CheersDan

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

What a stunning result. I am really looking forward to seeing how they transform the east end of London into an athletics paradise. A huge stadium, lots of other nice buildings, palm trees flown in from Tahiti, and perhaps even a rail network that actually works !Chris Low.

Congrats to London on winning the bid! All world class cities involved in the running for 2012, I would have been happy hearing about any one of them winning the bid. Hmmmm....let's see, BA offers non-stops to Heathrow from Phoenix. I should probably book today :)-John

Congratulations, UK! If Mr. Chirac attends, maybe he can bring his own food from home! :-lol

It would be nice to see a Concorde flyby as part of the opening ceremony........Chris Low.

Let's hope the UK wins the Olympic bid!!:-) The voting is this coming week.

Cleaned up the thread so it can exist for it's intended purpose. Please do not mix today's events with discussion of this thread's topic. Celebration and enthusiasm shouldn't have to be curbed by discussion of other sensitive events. -John
