Every day this week, Dover District Council is dressing the Live Site in Dover’s Market Square with Olympic flags and colourful beanbags so that everyone can sit back, relax and enjoy the last week of the Olympic Games on the Big Screen.
The Olympic Games live broadcasts are becoming more and more popular as excitement builds moving towards the Closing Ceremony, titled ‘A Symphony of British Music’, taking place on Sunday 12 August 2012.
An event is to be held in Dover’s Market Square on Sunday 12 August from 6pm until 9pm to mark the occasion, starting with a free Zumba party (6 – 7pm) open to everyone.

The Closing Ceremony, broadcast worldwide, involves the flag entrance at 9.15pm, athletes’ entrance at 9.30pm and the handover to Rio de Janeiro for 2016 Olympic Games at 11.15pm. The Ceremony is due to finish between 11.30pm and midnight, so bring a chair, blanket and picnic and enjoy the show.

What a race! The nation was on tenterhooks on sunday night watching one of the greatest sportsmen of all time..Usain Bolt. Could he win Olympic Gold again? Were injuries taking their toll? His recent form was suspect. The nation watched on and so did the world as he lined up in the 100 Metre Olympic Final. But the doubts were soon answered as the hugely popular Bolt flashed away the second the gun went off and after 50 metres all concerns were gone. He stormed clear and flashed past the line in a blistering 9.63 seconds. The crowd in the stadium went wild..everybody went wild. Thunderous applause split the East London night.The lightning Bolt had returned to glory! And now taking the 200m GOLD as well. What an athlete!!..a true legend in his own time as Jamaica finish first second and third.
And now with sporting fever gripping the nation...
