Olympic Opening Ceremony Rehearsals

I have been one of the lucky few who have been able to watch the London 2012 Opening Ceremony rehearsals several times before it was shown to the world. I know that this post is going up after the ceremony but that is because i was determined to save the surprise for all those people who have worked desperately hard to ensure the ceremony was a resounding success!



The quaint countryside scene at the start


The crowd


A 'sea' of silk cascaded down the crowds


The live animals on stage, so well behaved and the ducks are adorable


Industrial Revolution destroying the countryside


'Yellow Submarine'


Titanic 'floats' by


The amazing towers that shoot out from under the stage and the rings getting ready to unite


The Olympic rings are united and create this striking display


Great Ormond Street staff pay homage to the NHS


Monsters come out at night: Lord Voldermort, Cruella De Ville 


Mary Poppins comes to save the day!
