Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night . We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly,crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings and do not take any chances when crossing the road.  
My point is about litter. It is an offence to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.
Finally, as regards smoking , it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

IOC President Jacques Rogge gave the following speech at the Closing Ceremony of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, this evening, in the Olympic Stadium in Athens:

Dear Greek friends,

You have won! You have won, by brilliantly meeting the tough challenge of holding the Games! A warm thank you to Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, who has led the enthusiastic and extremely competent ATHOC team with great vision and charisma.

Thank you also to the Greek public authorities, which have transformed Athens and built an extraordinary urban and sporting heritage.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Games, and above all to the marvelous volunteers who have charmed us with their competence and kindness.

These Games were held in peace and brotherhood.

These were the Games where it became increasingly difficult to cheat and where clean athletes were better protected.

These were the Games where you, the athletes, have touched our hearts by your performances, your joys, and your tears.

These Games were unforgettable, dream Games. Athletes, you are role models. When you get home, promote the message of the Games; promote respect for others; and, above all, promote clean sport. Give back to sport what sport has given to you. And now, in accordance with tradition, I declare the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad closed and I call upon the youth of the world to assemble four years from now in Beijing to celebrate with us there the Games of the XXIX Olympiad.

Thank you, Athens! Thank you, Greece!
