    And that's how you complete the biggest scene change in the world live.
  • Loved how the producers were so friendly and calm. Well done to everyone who performed ❤️

    That commentary at the end where she says turn and look at what you made gets me emotional. It lets you know about the hard work that goes into making the Olympics successful

    The thing to bear in mind about London's Opening Ceremony is that almost all the performers were amateurs who had just applied inline to take part. There were very few professionals involved. It was very clever and very quirky and the music was great. Typically British.
  • I had no idea this existed until now and I’m really grateful someone has persevered this. Still one of my favourite things I’ve ever seen and it was fascinating to know what it was like to be at the epicentre.

    This ceremony absolutely blew my mind. That score is so damn satisfying! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

    I performed as one of the dancing nurses. Was extra special as my sister also got picked to do the nurses section too. The moment I ran out pushing my giant bed to all the cheering crowds and cameras I will never forget! London 2012 💗

    January 2021, almost nine years of this spectacle... I'm not crying, you're crying. To have someone say to you "you're now part of the cultural record of London, for ever and ever", and know it is true... WOW.

    two years later and this is still SO COOL and how pleasant were those instructors, not to mention the audience at the end X)

    To all the volunteers who made the Opening and Closing Ceremonies happen (and the Games Makers who kept the Games going): you guys are still rock stars in my eyes, and always will be. Bravo and cheers from California. (And cheers to the uploader for giving us this special look behind the scenes!)
  • I'm always emotional when I watch videos about the (amazingly well done) opening ceremony. I've studied English literature and history for a few years so at the time I understood all the references of the show. A few months later I moved to the UK for my Erasmus experience and I have wonderful memories about the trips I did and the people I met. Whenever I hear the songs I'm teary and thankful for the English teacher and the experience abroad that I've had. What a wonderful country you have. Can't wait to come back for a few days whenever I can. A French student :)

    I miss 2012 so much. There was so much pride in Britain, it was an amazing summer. 
  • @AFGuidesHD
    ...and you thought organizing the village fete was difficult 
  • @dportass
    I love this, if you sync up both the and the BBC footage side by side you can see this chap :)
  • I don't even want to think about how much time and planning must have gone into just this opening section never mind the entire opening ceremony...
  • @nialledwards
    Those kind words from the in-ear people towards the end were incredible. I've got actual chills!

    Thank you to OlympicHiddenCamera (aka a member of the county that rocks ;) ). Two years on I wanted to hear the In Ear bits again. Amazing how much I did not register on the night or forgot. The thing I clearly remember is  Steve asking people to help county J. That, I believe, was one of the few things that did not change during all the rehearsals in the stadium. Thank you for putting it online.
