Is that Eric Morecombe singing and dancing "Bring me Sunshine" at the end of the Morecombe and Wise show?

Assuming I have the right song - I was young when it was on...

Or even the most simple mascot you can think of ...

Larry the London Lion!

He'll sell well for football with the "FA Cup" logo on his chest, and will sell just as well for the Olympics with the "2012" logo on his chest!

Congrates on copying alstorer's link from 11:06.

At least the mascots are better than that dreadful logo. They are aimed at kids and so it's easy for adults to crititsie.

Having seen some momento's of previous paralympics. The mascot is much more important to the competitors than the arm chair viewer.

Figured it wasn't actually that- the Sc**thorpe problem rearing its head.
