The Union Jack was proudly on display throughout the London Games, from the athletes'
Stella McCartney-designed uniforms to last night's clever set. Not only was it one last blast of British patriotism, but the arms of the flag's overlaid crosses offered a dynamic staging area for cars to zoom around the stadium, models to strut their stuff (more on that later), and all the Olympians to revel in the night's after-party vibe.
