Today we bring fans a full update on where the stadium is, the milestones already reached and what to look forward to in the coming months.

So where are we now?

Last week, the iconic Wembley Arch was lit to celebrate the successful London 2012 Olympic Bid. Visible from the Canary Wharf tower, the Arch symbolises how far the stadium has come since cranes moved on to the site at the end of September, 2002.

The majority of the bowl is now complete and approximately 20,000 seats have now been installed, Glass and aluminum panels have been fitted to approximately 80% of the exterior giving the Stadium a slick and state-of-the-art finish.

Meanwhile workers are busy inside the vast concourse areas fitting out the restaurants, food and drink outlets, merchandising kiosks, executive boxes, kitchens and toilets.

Then - October 2002

Now - July 2005

Once the workers constructors moved into Wembley, it wasn't long before the Stadium’s world-famous Twin Towers had to be demolished in a very public ceremony watched by over 200 members of the media and more than 1,000 spectators.

The towers bore witness to some of greatest moments in sporting history had come to symbolise the stadium since the very first FA Cup Final in 1923 and unsurprisingly the event in February 2003 made global headlines. The demolition of the towers marked the end of an era and the beginning of an amazing new one.

The towers come down...

Throughout the latter half of 2003 and the first half of 2004, the iconic Arch was pieced together on the pitch area. The Arch was rotated into position in June 2004 lighting up the night sky for the first time as the England team were competing in Portugal for Euro 2004.

To celebrate the Stadium reaching it full height and the start of England’s 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign a topping put ceremony was held. The event was a star studded affair affair with Prime Minister Tony Blair, England captain David Beckham and head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson in attendance to officially celebrate the milestone.

At the start of this year, the first seats were installed at the new stadium and England legend Geoff Hurst, scorer of the famous England World Cup Final hat-trick at the old Wembley, was first to try them out.

The seats were the first of many symbolic milestones which will be of interest to fans world-wide. Wembley Stadium construction director Mike Richardson talks exclusively to The FA.com about the completed stages and what we can look forward to next.

"Wembley Stadium has come on in leaps and bounds since that dull day in February 2003 when the Twin Towers were knocked down.

"At over three times the size of the old venue, the new Stadium’s development has been watched with great anticipation - not just by local residents and Londoners but by people from across the world"

"The raising of the arch and topping out ceremony were memorable moments for the team – suddenly people from miles away could identify the Stadium – Wembley was back on the map."

"Construction of the roof has already started and huge panels will be transported to Wembley in the coming months, lifted by cranes and placed on top of the existing structure. With 11acres of roof to install, itt will be an incredible feat of engineering - unlike anything we have witnessed in this country before.

"For many fans, the team dressing rooms will be of great interest and fit out of those will be towards the end of the year. The design includes four separate changing areas with direct access straight on to the pitch.

"And for most, the laying of the grass will signal the beginning of the end of construction. I hear already that there is some serious competition from footballers - both past and present - who want to kick the first famous ball on the hallowed turf!
