In London, a Memorable and Musical Closing Ceremony

LONDON — Campbell Robertson, Sarah Lyall and Victor Mather had prime seats in the upper deck of the Olympic Stadium for the sights and the sound of the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.
The theme of the show was British pop music, so you’ll want to read the reports: because the only thing better than hearing some of the world’s greatest rock bands perform live is reading a description of it in prose! (Viewers in the United States will be able to see the ceremony on NBC.)
