Since mid July, London has been host to some 10,000 athletes and officials from 205 countries participating in the London Olympics - the third honour for London since its earlier two Olympics. And what an honour for the Queen to inaugurate the Olympics 2012, while the last London Olympics were inaugurated by her late father King George VI in 1948.
The grand opening this year was a memorable occasion which fascinated billions of viewers around the globe. The Queen 'parachuted' along with James Bond into the arena to announce the opening of the London Olympics.
