Off topic from the lawnmower man scene (aka Organised Chaos) from the Sydney 2000 OG Closing Ceremony, here's the entire London 2012 Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony as uploaded by the IPC. Enjoy.

Liked both Sydney Ceremonies and the lawnmower man scene at the beginning is always my favourite part!

COMPLETE Sydney 2000 OG Closing Ceremony from start to finish as broadcast by the Seven Network. Makes me proud to be Australian when ever I see this, but the lawnmower scene is cut off, unfortunately.

My favourite lighting of the cauldron in Olympic history.

You got it, mate Is it viewable in Canada?

How come I can view it but not in America?

Sad to see the flame go out after a wonderful 17 days but a good closing ceremony, but not as good as Sydney. My rate: 8.5/10

Going to be a fantastic show, but Sydney's is always the best. Ceremony starts at 0400 (Perth Time) so will record it like the Opening.

Wow. If this is the case, how will the cauldron be lit?

Most probably it will be a surprise like what happen in Sydney four years ago. My favourite thread on GamesBids.

Reading this thread atm and looking up all the pics on the web and where is the location of the London 2012 Olympic Cauldron and how will it be lit? For Sydney it was in the middle of the stage on one of the ends of Stadium Australia until the very last minute.
