Olympic Opening Ceronomy

[bewva]

Watched in pub with no sound after people started walking round the stadium, I thought it was very tedious, maybe the commentary helped?
I could not believe the countries that I have never heard of.

I thought the Queen really showed her sense of humour in joining in with the Bond thing, but didn't Beckham look great driving that boat, massive smile on his face, Beckham for next Bond!!!!

French is the official olympic language, as the games were revived by a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin. At every games of the modern era the announcements have been in French first & then the language of the host nation.

I thought it wa great but agreed with Mike ...Paul Mcartney ...why oh why . : What a load of cr#p .He is well past his sell by date.

Enjoyed and felt proud of the Industrial revolution theme...plus the Bond / Queen theme... also an absolutely fitting end  with McCarteney`s Hey Jude .. ( pity about the acoustics )
Overall if Bejing scored 10 out of 10 .. then  London`s was a good 8 / 9  !!
The  NHS theme though sure told the world watching.. come on over here and get in on it.. but then  there are thousands  here saturating  our NHS who didnt need to see the display

Agree Macca well past his sell by date, still the Arctic Monkeys made up for it   

The music through the decades was good, wrong track by the Sex Pistols though it should have been God save the Queen    Danny Boyle loves controversy.
