After a seven year wait the opening ceremony finally gets underway
with 2,008 drummers creating an incredible countdown
Drums thundered, strobe lights flickered and 14,000 performers poured
through the Bird's Nest stadium in a dazzling extravaganza that
offered up a vision of global harmony in line with the Games' motto
"One World One Dream".
The breathtaking ceremony leaves spectators in awe as dancers covered
in light enter the fray to reflect modernity
The crowd are thrilled as a 16-tonne globe dramatically emerges from
the arena with dancers circumnavigating the continents

Have an excellent day.
