The Princess Royal has unveiled the London 2012 gold medals as the one-year countdown to the Olympics began.
The medals depict the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, stepping out of the depiction of the Parthenon to arrive in the host city.
Thousands gathered in Trafalgar Square where David Cameron promised London's would be the "greatest games".
Meanwhile, diver Tom Daley performed the first official dive at the Aquatics Centre, the latest venue completed.
Synchronised swimmers formed the number one for London 2012 chairman Lord Coe and International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge.
At Trafalgar Square, Mr Rogge and London Mayor Boris Johnson invited the world to come to the British capital
85mm in diameter and 7mm thick medals, the medals weigh in at 375-400g Created by metalwork designer David Watkins who has exhibited at the V&A Some 2,100 medals will be presented during 302 victory ceremonies in more than 30 venues Lord Coe, Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson and former Olympic silver medallist Colin Jackson have made plaster casts of their feet at London's St Pancras Eurostar terminal to mark the "first steps" toward the 2012 Games
The Foreign Office has organised a range of events at nearly 100 of its posts across the world to encourage visitors, businesses, students and sports people to get involved
The British Mission at the United Nations in New York is holding an event featuring nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis and the UN's Secretary General Ban Ki Moon
The Royal Mail has announced it will issue special gold medal stamps to celebrate all Team GB Olympic golds
London 2012 will be the first summer Games to use "biological passports" to try to stop drug cheats
Lord Coe said the organisers' plans were on schedule and that the day was a "big moment" for the London 2012 Organising Committee (Locog)
The lack of capacity would be the main problem on London's travel network says BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards who says Transport for London (TfL) is urging commuters to work from home or use different routes
