Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDetails of the "Happy and Glorious" sequence were almost leaked, as British papers reported that Daniel Craig was seen leaving Buckingham Palace with Danny Boyle. However, this was disputed as a April Fool's joke since the story ran on April 1, and so was not believed by readers, leaving the ceremony a surprise.

Featured review
Britain, Britain, Britain
Wonderful choreography, music, and theme tell the story of Britain from its green roots to dark industrial might. A recognition of the country's emotional, cultural, and physical wealth.
Engaging and enthralling people of every nation with intelligence, whit, and charm; a moment of self-deprecation and self-praise, properly delivered with an all-rounded English-ness.
Music from every corner of every type, culturally relevant the ceremony throws out a message of turmoil, of arrogance (perhaps), and of success.
The Baby Boomers, the elderly, the young are enthralled and moved; they get the light, the sound, the message:
"We've done it; we did it brilliantly; I'm bloody proud to be a Brit. (And all those moaning buggers can get back where they belong: in their Early Graves)."
