It was truly amazing and I think you are right, Danny Boyle did a great job, it did make me feel very proud. I didn't know the Queen could parachute! ;-) Hidden talents and up for a laugh. Seriously, I saw an interview the next day with the stuntman, and he was great too. What a thing to have done!

Forgot to mention Sir Macca, I thought he was very annoying too, time to wheel him back into his yellow submarine and throw away the key! No, he could never sing - you are absolutely right.

I particularly loved the opening hour or so, as we went from Jerusalem and England's pastures green to the industrial revolution - and the way that segment culminated in the smelting metal river and the creation of the olympic rings.<br /><br />Danny Boyle did a fantastic job (IMHO) in creating something completely different to Beijing but no less spectacular. I had thought we Brits might not measure up, but we did, and I too, felt proud.<br /><br />I looked online to see if I could find a list of the musical score as I wanted to see what some of the classical music was (am such a philistine) but couldn't find one. My one complaint about the musical score..why do they always have to drag Paul McCartney out at all these things? I don't even think he's got a very good singing voice...but that's just me!<br /><br />I do agree it might have been a bit bonkers (not sure about the NHS segment) but, it was totally brilliant in its bonkersness. Hurrah for the Brits!Mummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-76935828938412890852012-07-30T07:41:26.615+01:002012-07-30T07:41:26.615+01:00You are right - totally bonkers but wonderful neve...You are right - totally bonkers but wonderful nevertheless.Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.com
