As a fellow Brit I also really enjoyed the Opening - best bit was the Queen and James Bond - I am so proud of her for showing a sense of humour.
Very impressed by the Industrial Revolution and historical section. I guess the NHS (National Health Service) bit was included because we seem to be known as unusual in the world for having it (or this is what we are told?!).
The bit that really confused me though was the group dancing separately in gold (? I think) costumes - several dancers and then a man and a boy slightly set off. I didn't follow the logic on that, but hey all opening ceremonies have to have their surreal moments!! LOL!
I also really love the Olympic torch - the idea and construction of that is simply magnificent
And I'm pleased that everyone seems to be having a good time (everyone, not just the Brits) - long may it continue!!
