Great posts, Senruset I and KD Cat. Your two posts together sums up the London opening ceremony well. I liked it but found it hard to follow & overly long and boring in parts. I loved the part with James Bond & the Queen. Her corgis were so cute, and it was neat to see her in the palace.
The part with Beckham cruising through London in a speed boat was neat and I thought that having J.K. Rowling read a story was classic. I agree with Senruset I; it was so very British.
But the best part for me is always the Parade of Nations. I really enjoyed seeing all the athletes in their country's special Olympic outfit.
