The Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics depicted a microcosmic sample of the United Kingdom's history, beginning with rural England and charting industrialization and the changes through to the 21st Century. Criticisms suggested that foreign viewers did not understand references to British film, for example. Many wonder if the Closing Ceremony will offer a reflective take on the United Kingdom. "If the Opening Ceremony was the wedding, then the Closing Ceremony is the reception," Director David Arnold said to the Daily Telegraph.

The London 2012 Closing Ceremony start time schedule is 4pm EST. It is expected to be a star-studded event, featuring (British) performers such as Adele, the Spice Girls, and members of the iconic Queen and Pink Floyd. Members of the royal family, including the Queen, are expected to attend the Closing Ceremony.

Earlier, Mobile & Apps had provided a helpful list of optionss for watching London Olympics 2012 Opening Ceremony online. The Closing Ceremony takes place on Sunday, and viewers away from the television have similar options.

BBC

The BBC is consistently recommended; as the official London 2012 Olympics broadcaster, it offers coverage of every event. The Closing Ceremony will, of course, be the final event in BBC's Olympic lineup.

YouTube

YouTube broadcasted the Opening Ceremony, viewers can expect it to do the same with the Closing Ceremony. As with the Opening Ceremony, visit YouTube.com and look for a banner highlighting the event. CTV Canada also offers a CTV Olympics YouTube channel providing live coverage of the games via the video sharing service.

Regional TV

Along with the BBC, regional networks including NBC (U.S.), CTV (Canada), RDS (France), and NINE Network (Australia) will provide coverage of the Closing Ceremony. Visit these networks' websites for access to live video.

Peer-to-peer

Many peer-to-peer (P2P) websites will provide streams for the Closing Ceremony, but as with the Opening Ceremony, these may be poor quality pushing the boundaries of legality, so peer-to-peer viewing should be considered an option of last resort.

The Guardian

The Guardian will not offer video, but provides solid live blogging coverage. Opinions and immediate impressions could be posted as the Closing Ceremony unfolds Sunday, making The Guardian a good option for users without access to live video.

Official London 2012 Olympics Web site

London's official website for the 2012 Olympic Games provided live coverage of the Opening Ceremony, so it will likely provide coverage of the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.
