You thought nothing would ever beat Beijing? You underestimated Britain, and more importantly the genius of Danny Boyle. Everything - music, lighting, props, performers, costumes, choreography - is fantastic and would not be out of place in a Hollywood blockbuster.
The London 2012 Opening Ceremony has everything that it means to be British: who we were, who we are now, and how we got here; all aspects of our culture and heritage. I left the arena feeling so proud to be British, to be a part of The Greatest Show on Earth.
The world will be watching. I can’t wait.
