Previously, Britain had become the host for the first time in 1908 with logo

other than that on the show as there is usually an Olympic mascot used to liven up the event itself. At this year's Olympic mascots used are Wenlock and Mandeville.

and I also have the video about the mascot ... check this out

opening ceremony that was held very lively, there are several stages, such as the delivery of a torch to light the torch. Moreover, the involvement of David Beckham in the making splashy event in the Olympics this year. I also have favorite scene for the opening ceremony

not only involved david beckham, daniel craig is also involved in the mission this time is to invite the Queen Elizabeth II to go to the Olympic stadium by helicopter.

my opinion about this event : this is an amazing event in the world, the IOC (International Olympic Comittee) really paid their attention to make this event so awesome !

Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympic Games

London 2012 Olympics Games officially opened on July 27, 2012 local time at the Olympic stadium. The opening ceremony which cost about 400 billion rupiahs occurred very festive and luxurious. Olympics that followed about ten thousand athletes representing 204 countries is the thirtieth Olympics games. Oak tree that rises above the grassy mound in the opening ceremony was made of steel and fiberglass. But the grass around it is a real grass and wild flowers adorn the stage. Voldemort is controlled by cables and ropes.

Another interesting thing when Queen Elizabeth II jumped from a helicopter with Daniel Craig (James Bond) using a parachute display the British flag. But do you know that Queen Elizabeth II who jumped it is not the real queen? Yap! She was a stuntman, Gary Connery.

The Legendary British football player, David Beckham drove a boat that delivered the Olympic torch. And I admitted he seemed absolutely attractive.

The most amazing to me is the fire that ignited into a circle and then a huge torch which can close like a flower bud. Later became a big torch.
