0 London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony- What a Kick Start!

Is was one amazing kick start for the London 2012 Olympics....with Director Danny Boyle behind the whole 40 Million Dollar theme!! United Kingdom wowed the world with their history, struggles and most of all, that Yorkshire humor...unmistakeably over the top!!

 The event started with a LIVE stage drama on Britain's history ....until where it is today! It featured an amazing tribute to UK's International figures like James Bond, Harry Porter, Mr, Bean etc

 In one scene, the Queen jumped off the chopper escorted by James Bond (007)...and that's how she entered the stadium!! It was soooo real!!

 The stadium was transformed from one act to another...with such surprises..it was hard to look away from the TV! At one point we had a village,the next it was an industrial city...and just few minutes after,we had NHS and kids in a hospital!

 On the other hand, we were mesmerized by the handsome David Beckham as he sailed with the Olympic torch,to the stadium!

 The countries presentation was one boring fashion show...though! It looked like a memo went around countries,as a tip on what to wear...almost all Teams looked like air hostesses!

 It was no different for USA Team either....good for them, first lady Michelle Obama was there to cheer them on.

 Tanzanian Team wore black suits with National flag-inspired scarfs....and Zakia carried the flag! Thanks to fellow blogger Florah Lyimo for this picture!

 Among epic moments of the event..is this one!! Mr. Bean doing what he does best,improvising!

 And so...the torch arrived at the stadium,and it ignited all these copper petals....spectacular view!

 The petals then transformed to one amazingly giant torch....

An emotional moment passed when the Olympics flag bearers arrived! It was a Team of very Inspirational people, including Ban Ki Moon and Muhammad Ali (sitting)

And then the Legendary Paul McCartney closed the show with a great performance....(notice the Stella McCartney jacket?).....,,sooooo, I went to sleep singing... Na na naaa na, nana nana naaana ...
