Blue Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I found this: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-09/17/content_10063748.htm The London 2012 Games represents a unique opportunity to welcome the Paralympic Games back to the country that inspired the creation of a new worldwide sporting movement, following the historic archery competition amongst war-injured patients at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital just outside the capital in 1948. The handover segment also featured guest performances from Paralympic medalist and TV personality Ade Adepitan and, representing the next generation of the British music scene, drummer Cherisse Osei and rock guitarist Sam Hegedus. The Paralympic handover carried on from where London left the Olympic handover. For the first time, both segments were conceived as two halves of one story - a journey to Beijing and a journey home bearing both the Paralympic and Olympic flags, along with the hopes and dreams of the world's best athletes. How cool! [Edit] And the story continues: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-09/17/content_10063365.htm 2.30 mins to 3.30 mins The mood changes The cast descend from bus as a drummer appears with a full drum kit on the rear scissor lift, sending up a solid "four to the floor" rhythm. The drummer is a young London musician, Cherisse Osei. The central column rises and the figure of Nelson puts on his sunglasses and is handed an electric guitar on which he plays a funky riff - an image both of an iconic landmark and also of Britain's easy ability to be respectfully irreverent. OK... video please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 There seems to be a video with this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/disability_sport/7620429.stm But to me it says 'Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory. Live - Paralympics closing ceremony.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ah, it must have been a livestream then. Hopefully the same person who posted the video of the opening ceremony on YouTube will post the video of the closing ceremony too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I found a few sites with pictures of the ceremony, no trace of Cherisse though. This page contains loads of pics but it's a bit slow so I haven't checked properly yet.
