Beijing's Closing Ceremony In Photos (GALLERY)

The closing ceremony for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has as expected flooded the web with related articles, pictures and videos, all stating that China gave the world’s a show to remember.

Here are some of the pictures from Getty Images, taken from the National Stadium, or the Bird’s Nest, Beijing, capital of China.

I congratulate China on its success this year. Maybe the number 8 was indeed lucky for them. I hope England does not believe in the luck behind numerology, as 2012 might not be such a great year in some prophecies.
