Olympic Closing Ceremony 2012 Start Time: When and Where to Watch Final Event

The 2012 London Olympics has lived up to all the hype, but with the Games nearing an end, it's time to turn our attention to the Closing Ceremony.

After the final medals are handed out Sunday, artistic director Kim Gavin and his crew will put on one hell of a show to cap off the two-plus weeks of festivities in Great Britain.
