Beckham to Close the Beijing Olympics Ceremony

David Beckham is billed as one of the stars set to close the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Sunday 24th August alongside Leona Lewis and Boris Johnson (well he is the mayor after all).

Beckham will be driven to the stadium on a red double decker bus which he will alight to have a kick-around with children representing the countries of the world. The Olympic host flag will then be handed over to Boris Johnson, which he will babysit until the London 2012 Olympics. Finally, we'll get the luxury of air conditioning on our transport system.

Until next month... my ears are to the ground.
