Birmingham Airport has unveiled the Olympic Rings on its Air Traffic Control Tower to celebrate the London 2012 Games.

Birmingham is the first airport to showcase the rings, which will welcome thousands of fans to the UK over the coming months.

The rings, which have been privately funded by Birmingham Airport, were launched at a special event hosted by radio presenter Joanne Malin and was attended by Olympic and Paralympic Gold medallists Edwin Moses and Lee Pearson.

As part of the Olympic extravaganza, spectators were treated to performances from a string quartet from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, as well as London 2012 Cultural Olympiad project Dance Sansaar, a local Punjabi folk arts group.

Paul Kehoe, Birmingham Airport CEO said: “The Olympic Games are for the entire country, not just London. Every visitor, passengers and passerby will see our welcome spectacular and we’re really proud to be part of such a historic occasion.

The 719ft-high tower shone like a beacon over south London as it marked the end of an era following the biggest digital switchover yet.

The mother of all transmitters, which reaches a fifth of the country’s TV sets all by itself, will continue to broadcast signals – but only digital ones from now on.

The 219m tall Crystal Palace broadcast tower is illuminated to mark the switch from analogue to digital television, bringing to an the end the 75 years that the antenna has been broadcasting the analogue signal.

A 70-foot high image of the comic book character Dr Manhattan appeared out of the Thames last night using the world’s biggest water screen projector.

Dr Manhattan, the blue skinned, super-powered being beloved of all Watchmen fans towered above the crowds who’d gathered on the river bank in central London to see the event.

The water screen was moored in the middle of the Thames between the London Eye and The Shell Building to create an vertical screen of water that extended to 72 feet in height and 100 feet across.

Specially created Watchmen footage was projected onto the screen to show Dr Manhattan’s gigantic translucent and shimmering form.

The one-off spectacle was created to promote the big screen adaptation of the 1986 comic book series Watchmen.
