On July 6 2005 at 12:46pm UK time, Jacques Rogge stood in front of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) General Assembly in Singapore and announced: 'the Games of the XXXth Olympiad in 2012 are awarded to the city of..........London.'
This announcement was greeted with delight by the London delegation in Singapore, the huge crowd of 30,000 people gathered in Trafalgar Square and at events all over the country. This was the result of three years' hard work by a dedicated Olympics bid team supported by millions of people around the UK.
The Right Honourable Sebastian Coe, OBE, headed London's successful bid to host the 2012 London Olympics. Lord Coe is a British athlete and Conservative Party politician. London's bid was not initially the favourite but a complete overhaul of the transport strategy and a huge surge in public support helped in the turnaround.
