Water screen on The Thames, Rio Olympics
Projections on Thames mark Olympic handover from London to RioTuesday 14 August 2012London SE1 website team A water projection on the Thames – designed to be viewed from the South Bank – marked the handover of Olympic host city status from London to Rio de Janeiro. Monday nights show started with an image of a globe coming out of the water and also featured scenes of beach volleyball, football, an art gallery, Brazilian cultural festivities and the Christ the Redeemer statue amongst other activities tourists can experience when visiting Brazil. It ended with the strapline: “Thank You London… See you in Brazil. Come celebrate life”.”Following the closing ceremony in London, the eyes of the world are now turned towards Brazil,” said Marcelo Pedroso from EMBRATUR, the Brazilian tourist board.”The large sporting events are unique opportunities to transform or reinforce the image of the country in many aspects, and we hope the broad exposure will attract new tourists and take Brazil to a new level of importance in global tourism as a whole.”

Shard building launch, lasers and search lights
BRITAIN’S tallest building was officially unveiled yesterday — with a dazzling laser display that lit up the London skyline.
Beams of light shot out of The Shard on the banks of the River Thames to mark the completion of the skyscraper’s exterior.
The view from inside is equally awesome. I was
one of the first journalists welcomed in for a sneak peek a few hours before last night’s breath-taking display, which was rehearsed days earlier.
My ears popped as I whizzed up the middle of the 1,016ft glass structure at a rate of six floors a second.
Although work on the inside is expected to continue into 2013, I was taken 800ft up to the viewing gallery.
It doesn’t open to the public until February but tickets go on sale today at a pricey £24.95 each for adults.
Spectacular … The Shard turns yellow
For that, you do get extraordinary 40-mile views in each direction from the site in Southwark.

The Dark Knight Premiere flame effects London
The Dark Knight Rises European Premiere
I’ll set the scene. On a damp Wednesday afternoon, a giant, demolished bat mask landed in the centre of Leicester Square. If you pair that strange occurrence with fire canons, a flaming bat symbol and hundreds of fans, it could only mean one thing. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES European premiere was about to begin – and did it go off with a bang!

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct bathed in light for trust launch
THE world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct has been bathed in light to mark the launch of a charity trust.
Glandwr Cymru (Canal and River Trust) is being officially launched today.
The running of the Llangollen canal, including the Pontcysyllte aqueduct world heritage site, will be passed to the new charity, which pledges to transform the historic canals and rivers of North Wales.
The charity is appealing for donations for projects to make the canal a haven for people and wildlife for years to come.
The aqueduct was beautifully lit in an evening event before the launch, to mark the start of a landmark 15-year government contract given to the trust to look after the nation’s waterways.
The trust is taking over from British Waterways and The Waterways Trust in England and Wales, the UK’s first major transfer of state run infrastructure into the charitable sector. Its patron is the Prince of Wales.
