The event marked the start of the London 2012 Festival, a 12-week programme of arts events running in association with the London Olympic Games.
Law says, "Any opportunity for people to get together and have fun is a good thing. If you go back to the origins of the Olympics, it was always about truce as well and that's why it seems so apt that Peace One Day, as an organisation, is working alongside the 2012 Cultural Olympiad."

For 2012’s Peace Day, which falls on 21 September each year, Peace One Day (Pod) is calling for a day of cease fire and nonviolence.
Called the Global Truce 2012 Campaign, its specific goal, according to Peace One Day’s ambassador Jude Law, is “to see the largest reduction in global violence in recorded history.”
In practical terms, if violence in conflict areas can come to a halt for 24 hours, lifesaving activities can take place that would otherwise be too risky. If humanitarian workers can be confident that they won’t get kidnapped, children can receive immunizations. If caregivers can be sure they won’t get shot, medical attention can be given to those in need.

Stars including Jude Law, Cate Blanchett and Damon Albarn have signed up to take part in a British arts festival to mark the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The Cultural Olympiad, a 12-week arts marathon, will be held across the summer of the games and will include pop concerts, theatre shows, art exhibitions, dance performances and visual media events.
British actor Law has agreed to produce an event in Northern Ireland for the Peace One Day (Pod) charity organisation, while Gorillaz star Albarn is working with his bandmate Jamie Hewlett on a new opera which will debut during the festival.
Australian actress Blanchett will bring her Sydney Theatre Company to London to put on a play.
Officials are also planning a massive pop concert and the Spice Girls' former manager Simon Fuller has given the strongest hint yet the girl band will reform for the event.
