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

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

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?).

absentgrana Thu 14-Jun-12 08:28:49

Aaaaargh. I got it wrong. Macca is closing the opening ceremony. (:P

jeni Wed 13-Jun-12 20:57:10

Got recorders! Will that do?

nelliedeane Wed 13-Jun-12 20:29:06

Can't run to a pipe and grandmanorm but we did have a good one man band for the GN birthday party smile can you play a tunexx

Grandmanorm Wed 13-Jun-12 20:24:57

A pipe band, it always makes me feel emotional, especially when abroad. Okay, I know lots of you wont like that, but I do!!!!!

nelliedeane Wed 13-Jun-12 20:20:40
