      Live Sites across the UK will show special films and entertain thousands of people on Thursday 21 June to mark the opening of the London 2012 Festival.

      An exciting programme of films will run throughout the day on the permanent big screens at locations around the UK including Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester.

      The screens will show films from events in the London 2012 Festival, including the Tracey Emin Review Show interview, excerpts from previous BBC Proms and films made by young people through the Cultural Olympiad’s Film Nation:Shorts programme.

      The Live Sites will also show a film about the life-sized inflatable replica of Stonehenge by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller that will pop up in places around the UK throughout the London 2012 Festival.

      There will also be screenings for children and families of the Guinness world record-breaking and BAFTA-winning film The Itch of the Golden Nit

      The big day on the big screens will culminate with a live BBC broadcast of The Big Concert from Stirling at 7.30pm with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.
