The Complete London 2012 Opening Ceremony | London 2012 Olympic Games | Tokyo

Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video

1. Beijing was a spectacle, but it was very self indulgent. The London Olympics was more like a history lesson - for humanity. The industrial revolution, black and west Indies to Europe, women's rights with the suffragettes display, the divide between rich and poor, workers movements and they didn't need to set of a million fireworks to get their point across.
2. 1:11 song??
3. i love London,it's a beautiful city.<3
4. I fell asleep until the ringing at the end woke me up
5. Who is London compared to Rio.
   Rio > London
6. London 2012 was the best
7. The best opening ceremony ever, so proud
8. The best ceremony of all time was Rio!
   UK says No. But The World says YES!
   Money is not everything, heart is everything!
9. Those who put down an opening ceremony really need to get a life. Beijing had A LOT to prove to the world back then & show it was the burgeoning superpower it strived to be, they had an unlimited budget for crying out loud - but the whole thing had zero heart. Little known fact - Beijing used CGI FIREWORKS, that's how insecure they were/are.
   London, while not perfect, was more fun and had heart in abundance. Danny Boyle did a grand job

    Why does the Queen look so miserable after a choir of disabled children just sang a song praising her greatness?

12. Rio 2016 superou Londres e China,podíamos ter o menor orçamento,mas mostramos ao mundo a alegria dos Brasileiros,ao invez de mostrar poder econômico,mostramos a nossa cultura e conscientizamos o planeta aos efeitos globais e mostramos também que sabemos fazer uma Olimpíadas. Viva a Rio 2016 !!!
13. 憨豆先生很可爱。  伦敦很漂亮.  ^_^
14. Olympic games will never be this epic again.

16. I guess it's just because a lot of American culture has been influenced by British Culture over the years, but I always found the London opening ceremonies to be more relate-able to me.
    
    Also, Pandemonium is hands down my favorite opening segment of any modern Olympic ceremony. It perfectly encapsulates the founding and blossoming of the modern world.
