Closing Ceremony

Closing Ceremony were similar to the Opening Ceremony in that they didn't really make since to me.  I wondered what everything meant and why they had all the odd vehicles and characters.

I also wondered why they had the athletes come in and start the program and then stop for about 20 minutes.

Athletes entering the stadium.

It was pretty cool when they brought the flags of the countries in.  The Fire heart was very impressive.

However, they were losing me, that is until Cold Play came on stage!!!  Really enjoyed the concert and found some of the light show, and performers to be fun and interesting.

Cold Play with the crazy vehicles by the stage.

Lowering of the Paralympic Flag

 It is always sad to see the lowering and removing of the Paralympic Flag.   As well as the extinguishing of the flame.  I get a bit sad and teary eyed as I know this is the end for another 4 years.

Extinguishing the Flame

It was a great time.  London did a really great job organizing and running the games.  The volunteers were excellent, helpful and very friendly.  Hats off to the Britts!!

David came away with a Silver and Gold, he did his country proud.  I know that all his fans in London are very impressed and proud of all he has done.  He is an inspiration to us all.  Now it is time to think ahead.......Rio in 4 years!!!!
