Olympic Opening Ceremony

Even better, I read yesterday that after the games are finished; each country gets back their 'bowl', their part of the 'cauldron' and takes it home. A memory of the games, that is brilliant and unique!

In a way that's a shame - would be nice for a replica to remain in the stadium. Although some ***** would probably nick it...
 
The great clothing shortage of 1911, where everybody had to wear newspaper. They were also a bit short of paint that year, so all the vehicles were coated in newspaper too. Hard times, hard times.
