I'm an Aussie - but with British roots (and a UK passport) - and the Ceremony made me proud of the little island that has made such an outsized contribution to world history and culture. The Beijing Ceremony was all about military-style precision. It betrayed Beijing's massive insecurity complex and the control it has over its citizens. London didn't demand such perfection. It was the ceremony of a mature democracy. It was a people's ceremony with 'real' people (ie deaf children's choir).

When we first got given the games I believed that it would be a massive flop. That was until they started and the atmosphere in East London changed forever. Suddenly people were proud of where they came from, people smiled and greeted each other. Even today, passing the stadium I still smile and feel proud of what we achieved. I cried the first time I saw this segment and to this day I get chills watching this (I knew many people who had the opportunity to take part) as the rings came together and then the raising of the petals. The great was definitely put back in Britain.
