映画監督ダニー・ボイル演出のこの豪華なショー、冒頭のテムズ河源流のシーンから、選手入場を除き、聖火の点火、ポール・マッカートニーのフィナーレまでの約2時間、録画して充分に楽しませてもらいました。
その中でミスタービーンの「炎のランナー」も笑えましたが、やはり何といっても女王陛下と００７が最高でしょう。
The Queen made an unexpected entrance - with a little help from James Bond.

Happy and Glorious
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_in_film#Happy_and_Glorious
Daniel Craig played Bond in a short film, Happy and Glorious, produced by Lisa Osborne for the BBC and directed by Danny Boyle as part of the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. In the film Bond is summoned to Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth II—played by herself—and escorts her by helicopter to the Olympic Stadium.Bond and Her Majesty jump from the helicopter into the stadium with Union Flag parachutes.
For the parachute jump, Bond and the Queen were played respectively by BASE jumpers and stuntmen Mark Sutton and Gary Connery.After the film was shown, the Queen entered the stadium via conventional means and formally opened the Games.
たまたま午後にＮＨＫＢＳで君塚直隆さん監修の「女王様の秘密のおサイフ」を観たことで英王室のイメージ戦略の程がよく分かりました。おそらくはその延長線上での００７のエスコートだったのでしょうね。

それにしては開会宣言の際の女王様の表情はいくらか御機嫌が悪そうでしたけど何故かなぁ。さすがに高齢の身に長時間の公務はお辛いのでしょうか。
The Queen says: "I declare open the Games of London, celebrating the 30th Olympiad of the modern era."
オリンピック旗を掲げて入場した6人の中で、ダニエル・バレンボイム、国連事務総長以外にも見たことがある顔がありました。
後で調べてその名前が判明、Shami Chakrabarti さんでした。
