Finally the 27th of July 2012 had arrived, the day which thousands of people including myself witnessed the splendid opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics Games which took places at 21:00pm. The title for this ceremony was "Isles of Wonder". In organising such a huge event organisors had to make sure that they organise sponsors for the London 2012 Olympics Games. Sponsors for the London 2012 Olympics Games are:

•  Acer
•   Atos 
•  Coca-cola
•   McDonalds, just to name a few.
