Totally brilliant and totally British


Brilliant, bonkers but beautifully British.
Last night’s Olympic opening ceremony was an absolute triumph of British pride, self-deprecating humour and sense of occasion.  After all, there won’t be many opening ceremonies where the reigning monarch “parachutes” into the stadium with James Bond!  The BBC production, starring Queenie herself, Daniel  Craig and  2 elderly Corgis was sheer genius in a ceremony that featured Becks, the Beatles, Bradley, Brannagh as Brunel, bovines, beds and Mr Bean. Maybe you had to be British to fully appreciate the historical, humorous and at times, humbling montage that unveiled last night but what an opening celebration.
