London 2012-day 1
The XXX Olympiad began with an incredible opening ceremony with 50 years of Brit pop music, and a staged entrance of the Queen with James Bond! Then came the parade of nations, which includes over 200 nations, most of whom have no chance of winning a medal, but for those who do, this is absolutely awesome. Then it was time for 1980 and 1984 gold medalist Sebastian Coe to start the formal part of the ceremony, The Queen to declare the games open, and in a surprise, 7 young British athletes lit the cauldron, and Sir Paul McCartney to close the show. As the saying goes "NO ONE follows Paul McCartney on stage, except maybe the Queen".
