Opening Ceremony

Well I'm not usually a fan of opening or closing ceremonies, but my 10yo son suggested we get up at 5am to watch and we were not dissappointed.
Whilst the British have been known to be stuffy in the past there was no evidence of this with the ceremony embracing the new as well as the old: Led Zeppelin, Mary Poppins, coal mines, David Beckham, the NHS, a Mini Cooper and even Mr. Bean. It all seemed to go as planned and was finished off with an amazing rendition of Hey Jude by Sir Paul McCartney complete with an audience sing-a-long.
FANTASTIC!
