London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony

This a quick video of my visit to the London 2012 Olympic games opening ceremony. Filmed on my phone and put together after we got home as a reminder of what was a truly superb evening at the Olympic Stadium in London.

On a personal note I felt the organisation, security and all of the volunteers all over the city that day were fantastic. Great Britain has much to be very proud of.

Paul McCartney Hey Jude London Olympics Summer 2012

I f--ked up. I was supposed to wait for a cue. But I forgot. Why? Well, there's this bloody great bell that we didn't know about. It was deafening.
We prerecorded a playback in case all hell broke loose... We were live, everyone was there, the world was ready and this bloody great bell goes off.
And I forget I've gotta wait for it, so I go, 'Hey Jude', and someone presses the playback. So there's me on the backing track, and actual me; two of us singing

THE DELAY/ECHO in the beginning of Hey Jude was because they (IOC) wanted Paul to lip sync/play over a backing track, but McCartney decided against it and played it completely live.I dubbed someone else's high quality television recording of the performance with a high quality recording of Hey Jude from the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Summer Olympics together, with this as the result. I do not own or have any rights to these recordings for they belong to the International Olympic Committee & The End and Hey Jude belong to Paul McCartney & John Lennon, Apple Corps, and EMI.

How London laid the groundwork for sustainable sporting architecture | CNBC Reports

Governments hosting high-profile sporting events like the Olympics and FIFA World Cup are repeatedly criticized for building massive, unsustainable venues, often abandoned in the years after the big event. In 2012, London aimed to change that narrative, praised at the time by climate activists for paving the way for sustainable architecture. Nearly a decade later, how are these venues being used and repurposed? What can other host countries learn from 2012? CNBC's Tom Chitty reports from London.

Disclosure: CNBC parent NBCUniversal owns NBC Sports and NBC Olympics. NBC Olympics is the U.S. broadcast rights holder to all Summer and Winter Games through 2032.

London 2012 Opening Ceremony Fireworks (from within the park)

Some of the fireworks at the end of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, as seen from outside the stadium, near the Megastore!

First few seconds were missed, as there was no warning that the display was about to begin, and camera work is poor/shaky at best, as I was more concerned with actually watching the display :P
