Olympic flags of 156 nations go up in London's Regent Street
15th Jun 2012 3:41pm | By Dan Thorne
With just 42 days to go until the London 2012 Olympic games, a majestic display of flags have gone up on display at London's Regent Street.
Replacing the union flags hung for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the 156 nations who are heading to London to represent their countries in the Olympics are represented in one of the capital's busiest streets.
Ten thousand athletes are expected to compete in the Games; imagine Regent Street on a busy Saturday, only with super fit people replacing the bargain-hunting shoppers.
As London prepares to take the strain of 1 billion visitors, here's a tranquil moment of calm before the storm.
