London: Danny Boyle’s ‘Isles of Wonder’ Olympic Opening Ceremony started at 9pm tonight, Friday 27 July.
Ten thousand volunteers, cast and crew have been rehearsing day and night over the last few months to make the Opening Ceremony a success, with dress rehearsals taking place earlier this week.
Danny Boyle, Artistic Director of the Opening Ceremony, said: ‘The Ceremony is an attempt to capture a picture of ourselves as a nation, where we have come from and where we want to be. The best part of telling that story has been working with our volunteers.’
The Athlete’s Parade will be at the heart of the Ceremony with a procession of participating teams nation by nation.
The big finale will be the entrance of the Olympic Flame into the Stadium and the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron, marking the start of the Games.
