Finally, film composer and record producer David Arnold, who composed and produced five James Bond films, Independence Day and the newly released Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movie 'Paul', joins the team as music director for the Olympic and Paralympic closing ceremonies.
"What an unrivalled wealth of British creative brilliance," said mayor of London Boris Johnson.
"With such a team on board our opening and closing ceremonies will be the envy of the world. We have the best of British creating the spectacular bookends of our Games, I have no doubt this will be the very best Olympics and Paralympics for generations to come."
