After over two weeks of non-stop sporting shows, the greatest sporting event on earth, the Beijing Olympics-2008, would be officially announced closed on August 24. The closing ceremony is to be held at the National Stadium, Beijing.

A special program that would highlight the event would be the handover program, which features representatives from the city which would host this mega sporting event in 2012.

The closing ceremony would be gratified by the presence of English soccer star David Beckham, pop artist Leona Lewis and guitar icon Jimmy Page, who would be present at the National (also known as the Bird’s Nest) Stadium for the special occasion.

The three celebrities and a list of officials would team up in Beijing to play a part as to represent England, who would play host for the London Olympics in 2012.

Sources indicated that Beckham and the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, will arrive at the venue in the famous English double decker bus and the latter will officially receive the host flag for the next Olympics from Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee.

Later in the ceremony Beckham will play football with kids, who would represent different nations of the world. Also, the event will see Lewis and Page singing together and a bunch of hip hop artists performing live for the audience as a part of the musical extravaganza.

It would be indeed a special moment for Beckham, to represent his country and also as a sporting ambassador for the next Olympics.
