"SPOILER
ALERT: The flagbearers of each country – including Ben Ainslie for Team
GB – enter the stadium in single file, followed by many of the Games’s
10,000 athletes.
They will march together rather than by
nationality, in a tradition that began at the Melbourne 1956 Games as a
way of bringing sportsmen and women of the world together as “one
nation”.
They walk to the accompaniment of Elbow’s One Day Like
This and Open Arms and Muse’s Survival – the official Olympic anthem –
followed by a symphony of British music performed by the London Symphony
Orchestra. A bouquet is then presented to a representative of the
volunteers on behalf of the athletes, in honour of the work they have
done. The parade will be followed by footage, broadcast on the stadium’s
giant screens, of some of the greatest moments from the 2012 Games."
This was posted by Facebook's very own Muse Army page and makes the opening ceremony sound pretty awesome.
However, it was the following link of pictures also posted by Muse Army that got me really excited.
What is that on the first picture? A giant blow up octopus?! AWESOME.
Good luck GB for the last few hours.
