Foundry has role in 2012 spectacularThe opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will begin with the ringing of the larg-est harmonically-tuned bell in the world.
The ceremony, titled Isles of Wonder, will involve 10,000 adult volunteer performers and 900 children. It is being masterminded by film direc-tor Danny Boyle.
It will open with the ring-ing of the bell produced by the Whitechapel Bell Foun-dry. It measures two metres tall by three metres wide and weighs 23 tonnes.
During the ceremony vol-unteer performers from the NHS will take part in a spe-cial sequence celebrating Britain’s health service.
The organising committee this week announced that the field of play in the Olym-pic Stadium will be trans-formed into rolling British countryside for the opening scene called Green and Pleas-ant.
The set will include mead-ows, fields and rivers, and feature families taking pic-nics, sport being played on a village green and farmers tilling the soil while real farmyard animals graze.
At Three Mills Studios in Tower Hamlets, the produc-tion base for the London 2012 Ceremonies Team, work is being completed on 12,956 props and staff are produc-ing 23,000 costumes for all four ceremonies.
»The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall came to the East End yesterday
(Wednesday) to unveil an Ol-ympic barge moored near the world’s oldest tidal mill in Bow before visiting the Ol-ympic Park.
Prince Charles and Camil-la were whisked through a door at the 18th century House Mill after arriving at Three Mills Island by car.
Inside they were given a tour of the old machinery by mill trustee Beverley Char-ters and chair of trustees John Haggerton.
Prince Charles enquired about funding needed for plans to get some of the old wheels inside the mill work-ing again.
If this was to happen, they would be capable of generat-ing enough power from the surrounding waterways for the mill and 40 homes.
The trust has been offered more than £2million from the Lottery if they can match that amount by November. But Ms Charters told the Prince they are struggling to raise funds.
She said afterwards: “It was really lovely. He showed
such an interest. He said ‘old places like this coming alive is what I love’.”
The Royal guests were also taken to Three Mills Studios where the Olympics ceremo-nies teams are based.
Away from the press they were given a sneak preview of costumes for the ceremo-
nies as they met staff, volun-teers and performers.
Afterwards Prince Charles unveiled the name of a barge moored outside. It is called Usain Boat.
Later, another Olympic barge, named Mulberry Ex-press, was due to be unveiled by adventurer and TV pre-
senter Ben Fogel. Basma Akaniz, 14, from Mulberry School for Girls in Whitechap-el, won a contest to name it.
The VIPs were then taken to the Olympic Park where, among others, they met rep-resentatives from the charity Bikeworks in Bethnal Green.

Residents say late-night bar will be noisyResidents fear a late-night open-air bar for people trav-elling on a water taxi be-tween Limehouse and the Olympic Park will lead to in-creased noise and anti-social behaviour.
Limehouse Community Forum, set up by residents concerned about anti-social behaviour in the area, is ob-jecting to a licence being giv-en for the bar to serve alcohol and provide music and enter-tainment during the Games.
The licence application, by Old Ford Lock River Services to set up the bar under the archways at Limehouse DLR station, is going before Tower Hamlets Council on Tues-day.
Alcohol
The company is owned by Peter Coleman, who also owns Water Chariots, which will run a canal boat service from Limehouse during the Games.
His company was original-ly seeking a licence to serve alcohol until 1am but, follow-ing negotiations with police, has offered to stop selling al-cohol at 11.30pm and finish entertainment by 10pm. They still hope to open every week-day until 2am during the Games.
Chair of Limehouse Com-munity Forum, Mark Slank-ard, said: “We still think this is unacceptable. This is a transport service but what they are proposing amounts to a late-night open-air bar in a residential area.”
Chief executive of Water Chariots, William Doughty, insisted neighbouring resi-dents and businesses will not be disturbed.
Top DJ drops off £5,000 of toys at hospitalChildren in hospital had a treat when internationally-renowned club DJ Lora paid a visit, played music and donated toys.
The 31-year-old DJ, a favourite with Sir Paul McCartney and Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, dropped off £5,000 of toys for the new children’s wards at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel last week.
Lora, who was the guest DJ at Simon Le Bon’s recent 50th birthday bash, said: “These children don’t get to have a lot of fun.
“Providing them with an afternoon of dance and music was my small way of brightening up their day.”
She had visited the hospital a few weeks ago and was so
impressed that she decided to do something to help.
She returned with toys paid for with charitable donations.
The hospital’s play specialist, Michelle Teague, said of the visit: “It helped distract them [the children] from being in hospital.”

Walk for hospice is thank-you for its careA Bethnal Green man was joined by 50 of his friends and family for a walk raising £7,600 for a hospice in memo-ry of his mother who died ten years ago.
Greg Bookman, 29, came up with the idea of a 10km walk through the East End to raise money for St Joseph’s in Mare Street, Hackney, which cared for his mother
Mim who died from a brain tumour on his 19th birthday.
He said: “Mum was cared for by some of the most phe-nomenal people I’ve ever had the privilege to meet.”
£36m centre for graduatesPlans have been announced for a £36million graduate centre in the East End with lecture theatres and accom-modation.
It is planned at University of London, Queen Mary in Mile End as part of an expan-sion scheme.
The new building will have lecture theatres, teaching and office space, reading rooms, cafeteria, trading floor, a 24-hour IT lab and even an undercover winter garden. It will also have 123 en-suite residential rooms and one-bed flats.
Principal Simon Gaskell said: “One of our objectives is a thriving postgraduate population – numbers have risen rapidly in recent years.”
The structure – behind the Queens’ Building on the site of the recently-demolished chemistry building – could be ready by 2015.
Improvement works are also planned to the facades of the historic People’s Palace and the Queens’ Building.
