The legacy of London 2012 will be marked in spectacular style today, with the Anniversary Games.

Instead of being held at the Olympic Stadium, athletes will gather at a temporary stadium at Horse Guards Parade and a track on the Mall. British Athletics TV has released timelapse footage showing the last week's preparations:
