London 2012 marks 100-day countdown
A new London 2012 motto - Inspire a generation - has been announced by organisers as part of celebrations marking the 100-day countdown until the start of the Olympic Games.
The London Organising Committee of the 2012 Games (LOCOG) has also unveiled a giant set of Olympic rings under the Heathrow flight path at Kew Gardens as part of celebrations.
Meanwhile, LOCOG has confirmed the Red Arrows will perform a nine-ship flypast across the UK to coincide with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on 27 July.
LOCOG chair Seb Coe said: 'With 100 days to go until the start of the Games, millions are getting ready to do the best work of their lives and welcome the world this summer."
- A new survey conducted by the BBC has found that nearly two-thirds of people in the UK believe taxpayers have shouldered "too much" of the cost of hosting the Games.
However, more than half (55 per cent) of those surveyed by BBC Radio 5 Live admitted the Games would generate benefits. ComRes was commissioned to undertake the research.
