They should have just had Pink Floyd play for an hour and then walked out the athletes.

Seriously, looks great but is this Lord or the Rings?

Gee, I knew that GB was proud of its industry, but I did not think that it was going to dominate the entire first part of the opening ceremony...

I think someone was trolling us with that circle they filled with the fire. Oh wait, they're actually floating rings. :lol:

Definitely being trolled.

Where did London get all this money?

And people worried it wouldn't look great, this has been fantastic.

That looked pretty cool.

That Industrial Revolution and Olympic Ring thing was great.
