There's a lot to be said for quality control. ;)

First time I've listened to this after a few months and its bringing me back memories of my involvement in the pandemonium section in the opening ceremony. Proud time be British!

Made me sad when people in the US thought that Isambard Kingdom Brunel was Lincoln.. and having no clue who Tim Berners-Lee was

[CactusLocalTime]

Just a beautiful, magical piece of music. The sound of the 2012 Games. The sound of London.

[RemakerWR]

A song that tell the tale of a magic island. What happened in the UK in the history was like magic. Modern civilization started there. As a Thai I really feel it, without UK, world wouldn't be like today. All good and bad started there.

Thank you to everyone involved. You not only made me proud to be British for the first time in my life, but by putting children and teenagers at the centre of the ceremony, you reversed years of hurt, years of the media and politicians bashing my generation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I return here every so often and shed a single tear, with a smile across my face

Loved the Olympics, but didn't really get into the spirit of the games until the opening ceremony. But safe to say, London 2012 definitely made me proud to be BRITISH! Eagerly wait the next Olympics! Good job guys!
