London's Olympic opening ceremony was GREAT!!

When I 1st heard about the green and pleasant land theme at first I thought .. boring.. and to be honest it took awile for me to get into it.. ( I think it was anticipation and over excitement) but it turned out to be a really amazing opening ceremony.
I enjoyed the industrial revolution segment, and it was interesting to see all nationalities working side by side.. Danny Boyle did a really great job with his creativity and artistic licence. In fact all involved did London proud.

Wonderful to see the construction workers lining the torch route into the stadium.. A little sad not to see a red double decker bus make an appearance.. but.. there was a red mini (love those cars)

The humour throughout was subtle and cool.
James Bond (Daniel Craig) going to the palace to pick up the queen... and later on the 'queen' jumping out of the helecopter with 007.. was so funny ( would have been even funnier if it really was her and she landed in the middle of the stadium )
Mr Beans face alone is hilarious so pretty much anything he does looks funny..

Becks looking cool as ever.. passed the torch to Sir Steve Redgrave

Muhammed Ali looked very frail, but it was fitting to have such a great sportsman feature in that way I thought.
Also nice to see the inventor of the WWW included.. how it's changed our lives huh.

The tribute to the NHS and children Literature were highlights for me, but the most amazing sight, was the cauldron, as I didn't expect it to emerge the way it did and that was quite breathtaking.

Anyway.. here are a few pictures..
Yay London!!!!
