    Daniel Craig reprises his role as British secret agent James Bond as he accompanies Her Majesty The Queen to the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
    The Ceremony also featured appearances from Mr. Bean, Monty Python and a re-imagining of the British Industrial Revolution.
    Every two years, the world's finest athletes gather at the Olympic Games - a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that captures the attention of billions of people around the world. However, the Games are about much more than just sport. They bring the Olympic values to life and provide a global arena for a unique combination of sport, culture, education and ceremonies.
    At the Olympic Games in London 2012, about 10,500 athletes from 204 countries compete in 26 different sports, comprising 302 medal events. Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.
    Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few. =========================================

      According to either Sky News or BBC, the idea was first pitched about with plans to have Dame Helen Mirren play the Queen. But when the Palace was approached and the Queen got wind of it she reportedly made it clear that if anyone was going to do it, it was going to be her and not anyone else! And the rest is history. There was a stunt double for the helicopter but the rest was really her, hence the roar from the crowd when she first does her reveal and turns around at the desk!!!

She said she was thinking - that’s the way to Queen Elizabeth’s study and “ is she, is she” (going to be there) Then she saw the footman who has been with our Queen for years, and then her absolute delight when Daniel Craig went into the study and she saw the Queen was going to be a part of the scene.

      @@richardwicks4190 She’s not descended from Elizabeth Tudor, she’s descended from Mary Stuart, whom ET had executed. She does have some Moroccan ancestry, but contrary to your apparent belief not all Moroccans are or were criminals or murderers. And Prince Albert helped keep the UK out of war - unlike some recent politicians. Wars cause death, which is a prerequisite for murder to be proved. What were his crimes in your opinion? You are insistent that not one of her forebears was innocent of murder or other crimes, which seems implausible to put it mildly. Have you traced your own lineage back to before the extinction of our Neanderthal ancestors and found everyone unblemished? Or do you just delude yourself that you have?
