FRIDAY 27th JULY 2012.
The opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games taking place in London for the third time was not to be missed -the event was directed by ' Danny Boyle ' and lived up to all the hype,bouncing punks,geese,the mosh pit versus the posh pit,buzzing helicopters.dragonflies.a statue of Sir Winston Churchill coming to life,blazing gold rings of fire,cows. milkmaids plus David Beckham being unbelievably cool ! Welcome to the barmiest opening ceremony in Olympic history,an explosion of nonsense and tremendous good fun.
As the world looked on and scratched its head in bemusement on a set that looked like a cross between the outskirts of Emmerdale and the Tubbytronic Superdome - the history of Great Britain was unfolded !!It was dazzling and bold and so very much us !
No more details just to say that the 204 counties taking part were represented by the copper petals which converged in a spectacular fashion to form the cauldron of fire in the middle of the Olympic Stadium.
The pictures above are just a very small sample of the night.
