News about the opening ceremony slowly being revealed. Given that we have the Olympics in GB what would you do if you were in charge of the opening ceremony? confused

Start with empty arena. Get Duke of Cambridge to helicopter in commandos to run around holding coloured smoke flares. As smoke clears, talbleau is revealed of Britain old and new (details as required)

Morris dancers, Welsh choir singing Cwm Rhondda, Irish dancers, finale of pipe band to march everyone out (suggestions for tunes?).

Something that costs a bit less than £23 million would be good.
