IT'S LONDON FOR 2012 OLYMPICS

LONDON will host the 2012 Olympics, it was announced in Singapore today.

Cheers broke out in offices around the country as the news was announced and a massive party attended by at least 11,000 people began in Trafalgar Square.

IOC President Jacques Rogge made the announcement that the jubilant capital had beaten Paris in the final round of the voting to cap a stunning victory against the odds-on favourites.

London also made history in becoming the only city to have ever hosted the games three times, an honour it was vying with Paris to achieve.
