London Olympics 2012: The Opening

Giant smoke stack protruding out from the middle of the performance area inside the stadium



Five mock steel rings are slowly hoisted up to form the Olympic logo.



Mr Bean and his antics. Seen here




Highlights:

• Mr Bean fumbling on the keyboard. He drifted into a dream and was seen running with a bunch of guys, spoofing the running scene from the movie Chariots of Fire.
• Harry Potter J.K Rowling, reading from Peter Pan. A lot Marry Poppins were seen flying around the middle of the stadium.
• Her Majesty the Queen opted for a short cameo as herself and proceed to hop onto the helicopter with Daniel Craig a.k.a James Bond and sets off to jump off the helicopter and into the stadium.
• The Olympic cauldron a combination of 204 petals. Lit by seven future  young hopeful in British sports.
• Five mock up rings were seen on the middle of stadium with steel  mill workers fakingly pounding on it. Not long after that all the rings were brought up slowly to form the Olympic logo.
• Awesome tribute to British music of the last forty years. Psychedelic looking dancers in jumpsuits, and stuff.

Verdict:
I love how they go all out and crazy during the ceremony. The lighting of the cauldron was impressive also.
