It was a parade of diversity: seven billion pieces of paper, one for every human being; a hope for the future, sustainability and peace; the journey from rural England, the steam engine, the industrial revolution, the suffragettes, the sixties, Mary Poppins fighting Lord Voldemort, the National Health Service, the British family of today, cosmopolitan London, The Thames, Mr Bean, David Beckham carrying the Olympic Flame, the fireworks and the brilliant performance of Hey Jude by Sir Paul McCartney, made this Olympics Opening Ceremony the most beautiful one I've ever watched!
