And we're off: Celebrations marking the one-year countdown to London 2012 have started in the capital

You can feel the buzz, see the excitement in people's faces, and with a little imagination you can hear the roar of millions of people packed into sparkling new venues. And there's still a year to go.

The countdown has begun in earnest with a day of celebration across London, including a first dive into the Aquatics Centre pool by none other than double Commonwealth gold medallist and London 2012 hopeful Tom Daley.

Synchronised swimmers have already taken to the water to make a number '1' as celebration of the milestone and other special events have taken place in the capital throughout the day.

Lord Coe and Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson rolled up their trousers to welcome foreign sports fans to Britain.

Alongside former sprint hurdler Olympic Colin Jackson, an Olympic silver medallist, they took off their shoes and socks for a plaster cast of their feet at London's St Pancras Eurostar terminal. The idea is that these are among the first steps toward the 2012 Games.

Lord Coe described today - the official start of the year to go countdown - as a 'massive moment in an Olympic city' before inviting everyone back next year.

'This is an extraordinary day,' he said.

Building work at the Olympic Park, is now 88 per cent complete. More than 3.5million tickets have been sold so far, setting the scene for full venues at Games time and a sensational atmosphere for competing athletes

Lord Coe said of the £9billion Olympic project: 'The Olympic Park venues are in large part built, and though a mountain of work is still needed to prepare them we have an extraordinary platform to build on.

'I feel pride that it's "sport wot done it". I cannot look at the Olympic Park without taking great pride that all us in sport did this.'

London Mayor Boris Johnson said: 'A year from today the curtain will be lifted on the London Games and I call on the world to come and enjoy what will be the greatest party that London, indeed the planet, has ever seen.

'Our stunning venues are almost all complete on time and under budget, and the impact of the Games on this great city of ours is being felt on many fronts.

'Visitors to London next year will find the atmosphere electrifying, whether they are soaking up the sporting spectacle in the Olympic Park or enjoying the many fantastic events and attractions across the capital. We are set to welcome the world for the best Games in history.'
