They don't usually have all that much to do with sport, they mostly reflect the culture of the host city, and no-one is more East London than Dizzee Rascal.
I really enjoyed it, I expected to be embarrassed or bored, I'm not a big fan of mindless spectacle, but I thought it was witty, imaginative and the first opening ceremony that I actually found entertaining.
I loved the bit where they sneaked in the Anna Friel kiss - the first gay television kiss in many of the worlds more oppressive countries.
