BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Footballer David
Beckham, British singer Leona Lewis and guitarist Jimmy Page will appear in an
eight-minute segment in the Olympic handover to London 2012 at the closing
ceremony of the Beijing Games, said the London Olympics organizer on Friday.
Lord Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Organizing
Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2012, told a press conference
here that the segment in the closing ceremony on Sunday would be "young and
vibrant."
It will "show the cultural diversity, the great city
of London, modern and contemporary dances and elements of Olympics and
Paralympics."
The eight-minute contribution to the finale was said
to cost 2 million pounds (3.74 million U.S. dollars). Beckham will arrive on a
red double-decker bus, according to earlier media reports.
