    It wasn't about London it was about great Britain, that was the Olympic stadium built for the Olympics. The queen has had corgies since she was a girl see bred her own dogs. She has many other types of Dogs.

      So Joe Bidon has German shepherd dogs ,which are nothing to do with the USA but our Queen has a breed of dogs that are everything to do with Great Britain( Welsh dogs) ? And you don`t see that is appropriate?

    Whoever made this video missed out so much! You can watch the whole thing on the Olympics channel. They edited out the NHS but though 🙄
    The best thing about it was NOBODY knew what was going to happen. The volunteers all swore to say nothing to no one and it worked! So when the Queen turned up the whole world was surprised.
    Listen to the commentators, they’re explaining what each section means. There was a tribute to those who died between the announcement of London 2012 (in 05) and the day of the ceremony. The day after the announcement there was a terrorist attack in London and the US left it out of its broadcast. Nice.
    Danny Boyle directed this by the way.

    Just a couple of corrections - the Olympic Games started in ancient Greece, not Rome, Italy. The British mascot is a bulldog. The Queen just happens to love corgis. Also the Industrial Revolution in the UK didn't only affect London, the first steam train ran between Liverpool and Stockton in 1825

    Gosh! Cough. Queen Liz II DOB is 21/4/1926. UK history goes back to at least 2,300 BC with Grimes Graves, with at least some definitive records from c. 43 AD (the Romans and all that). A whole country survey and accounting was made for William the Bastard in 1085 (the Doomsday Book, still available), so we can pin down exactly who owned what and where at that time.
    The chimneys and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (chap in tall hat) goes back to the industrial revolution of early 1800's, based on the Renaissance of science the century before. Essentially, GB went into the industrial revolution some decades ahead of other nations and ended up greatly influencing the history of The West. For example, Iron Bridge is famous for being the place where science, engineering and banking finance plus capitalism (share issues) came together in a successful project. Ideas in parts had been used elsewhere; this was the first time these were brought together to finance a speculative technology (casting of iron) to build a project.
    Have fun! :)

    Not Wembley - that's in the west of the city. The Olympic Stadium was a brand new stadium in the city's east. The guy in the top hat was playing the part of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, possibly the world's most famous engineer, who was symbolic of the industrial age of the 1800s. The Queen was 86 at the time (and it was a stunt double in the parachute jump :) - she was a mechanic during World War 2 and still drives her beloved army-standard Land Rover. As for the world crises in and around 2012, it was the height of the Syrian civil War, there was Benghazi, and there was the "occupy" movement on Wall Street and other financial capitals. I realise this was only highlights, but it missed sooo much (no sign of Mr Bean?)

    Sorry for posting my comment here, but I'm referring to your last Eurovision video:
    The Iron Curtain was a deadly, almost impassable border that divided Western European countries and Eastern European countries in 2 halves (the Berlin Wall was also part of the Iron Curtain). Europe was divided into 2 parts for almost 50 years. This division arose when the Soviet Union (Russia's communist empire, founded in 1917/1922) brought its tanks to Berlin in World War II to defeat Nazi Germany. On the way to Berlin, the Soviet Union annexed + occupied the Eastern European countries and introduced "Soviet Communism" in the countries. In addition, in 1939, shortly before the start of World War II, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had agreed in the Hitler-Stalin Pact to divide Eastern Europe between themselves. While 🇪🇪 Estonia, 🇱🇻 Latvia, 🇱🇹 Lithuania and 🇲🇩 Moldova were annexed by the Soviet Union and incorporated as Soviet provinces into the Soviet Empire, Czechoslovakia, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇧🇬 Bulgaria, 🇷🇴 Romania, 🇭🇺 Hungary and the German Democratic Republic (GDR/East Germany) became communist doll states of the Soviet Union (called Warsaw Pact). 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇧🇾 Belarus, 🇬🇪 Georgia, 🇦🇲 Armenia, 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan and the Central Asian countries (🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, 🇹🇯 Tajikistan, 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan, 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan) have already been 1917 - 1920 (approx.) annexed by the Soviet Union. At the end of the 1980s, the Soviet Union fall apart + the communist puppet dictatorships were overthrown in the other Eastern European countries. Furthermore, there were two other communist/socialist states, the also communist 🇦🇱 Albania and Yugoslavia, which were not doll states of the Soviet Union. Yugoslavia was founded as a socialist state by Josip Broz Tito at the end of WW2 after he and his partisans liberated the entire territory of Yugoslavia (Yugoslavia was a kingdom before WW2) from the Nazi occupiers in a guerrilla war. Tito became the leader/dictator of the state and broke ties with the Soviet Union in the 1950s, establishing Titoism, a particular path between capitalism and socialism. Tito was probably one of the most popular dictators in history, who held together the many different ethnic groups within Yugoslavia with his steel strength alone. Tito finally died in 1980 and 10 years later Yugoslavia was engulfed in a series of bloody civil wars in which all ethnic groups fought for independence, eventually breaking Yugoslavia apart. Furthermore, Czechoslovakia split into 🇨🇿 Czech Republic and 🇸🇰 Slovakia. 24 new countries emerged from the collapse of the Eastern Bloc (Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia): 🇪🇪 Estonia, 🇱🇻 Latvia, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇧🇾(⬜🟥⬜) Belarus, 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇲🇩 Moldova, 🇬🇪 Georgia 🇦🇲 Armenia, 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan, 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan, 🇹🇯 Tajikistan, 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan, 🇸🇮 Slovenia, 🇭🇷 Croatia, 🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina, 🇷🇸 Serbia, 🇲🇪 Montenegro, 🇲🇰 North Macedonia (Macedonia), 🇽🇰 Kosovo, 🇨🇿 Czech Republic, 🇸🇰 Slovakia and 🇷🇺 Russia. Also, 🇵🇱 Poland, Czechoslovakia (🇨🇿 Czech Republic, 🇸🇰 Slovakia), 🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇧🇬 Bulgaria, 🇷🇴 Romania and 🇦🇱 Albania became democratic states again + West Germany and East Germany were reunited to form 🇩🇪 Germany. Today there are only 2 dictatorships left in Europe, namely 🇧🇾 Belarus (dictator Aleksander Lukashenko) and 🇷🇺 Russia (dictator Vladimir Putin). 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan, 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan, 🇹🇯 Tajikistan and 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan are also dictatorships, while 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, 🇬🇪 Georgia and 🇦🇲 Armenia are democracies. 🇭🇺 Hungary and 🇷🇸 Serbia are half-democratic/half-autocratic.

    The classic dog to represent Britain is the Bulldog, but it's more for the unthinking violent now.
    The queen has Corgis, which are a Welsh breed.
    A British breed of dog is as hard to find as a British meal or a British national costume.
    This place is made up of many influences, much like how the English language is made up of so many others down the years, and yet remains it's own thing.
    Besides purity of breeding results in dogs that can't breathe and have congenital deformities anyway.
