  • Standing behind barriers opposite Prime Minister Brown's Downing Street in Whitehall, the heart of Britain's governmental district in Westminster, some of the thousands of pro-Tibet protesters angrily shout their messages to 80 torchbearing personalities who ran 31 miles through the UK capital's streets. We see them holding images of dead Tibetans, killed by Chinese forces during the most recent crackdown in Lhasa and holding placards with anti-Chinese messages. Amid chaotic scenes across London and Paris where mass-arrests and civil disobedience marked what was planned as a  pre-Olympic carnival, the IOC's event proved a disaster for Chinese organisers. 37 were arrested but these facts were blanked from official TV screens which showed only the calm personlities who carried in turn the Olympic flame.

  • A landscape of facilities and equipment outside the curved wooden roof of the iconic Velodrome during the London 2012 Olympics.

The predicted cost of the games when London won the bid in 2005 was £2.37billion. That figure has now spiralled to more than £12billion and could reach as much as £24billion, the Sky Sports investigation claims. The Olympics public sector funding package, which covers the building of the venues, security and policing, was upped to around £9.3bn in 2007.

  • The world's biggest McDonald's in the Olympic Park during the London 2012 Olympics. For the past 40 years McDonalds has been the Official Restaurant Olympic Games. As official sponsors they have paid $957 million to the IOC for the 19 days competition. Hundreds of food outlets at Olympic venues have been forced to take chips off the menu, because of a demand from sponsor McDonald's.

After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
