Closing ceremonies in Beijing
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.21.2008
Although it won't approach the drama and spectacle of the Beijing opening ceremonies (as if that's even possible), the closing ceremony at 6 p.m. Sunday on NBC should be something to see.
As a way of passing the Olympic torch to London, which will host the 2012 summer games, Jimmy Page will perform a duet with "X-Factor" winner and "Bleeding Love" singer Leona Lewis.
It will be just one of several appearances by English icons. David Beckham is expected to ride into the now-famous bird's nest on a red double decker bus, then kick around a few soccer balls. And London mayor Boris Johnson will be on hand to accept the Olympic host flag.
And then (sniff, sniff) it will be time to extinguish the torch and cherish the memories.
