I along with the rest are all for show of a little patriotism, but do you think it is appropriate for part of the opening ceremony to "MENTION THE WAR".
Paul McCartney is said to be taking part also, couldn't we do better, what would you wish to be included in the Opening Ceremony?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.how about something that is associated with the capital over the centuries, we have an interesting history, incorporate Shakespeare, Dickens, Mary Quant, Biba, swinging London. There is so much one could do, but as far as i can see the organisers are pandering to the sponsors, like the relay of the torch, and not the unsung heroes of Britain
I don't think it should be limited to London, em, even though the Games will be very Londoncentric. This is also the country that kicked off the industrial revolution, for instance, and railways (though I can't see how you'd get those into song and dance acts) and where the English language came from.
yet again the Mail making it up as it goes along. Can anyone point out where in that article any confirmation to what is in the opening ceremony is made, other than Paul McCartney who confirmed his inclusion last week. Total poppycock as we expect from our Daily Troublemaker (that's the paper not AOG!!!)
-- answer removed --
unless you want us to remind the Germans of their folly in bombing London, and other parts of Britain, or the Romans, those pesky ne'er do well Italians for daring to invade, or the Vikings pillaging. Come on for heaven sake, it's a ruddy sporting event, the matter of the last war should not play any part in this, as i am sure it won't.
Opening ceremony to include a cast of British musical greats (who somehow got missed off on the Jubilee party):
Rolling Stones
Dizzee Rascal
David Bowie
Rolling Stones
Adele
Britain leads the world (yes, I'm including you America) in music. Imagine Adele teaming up with The Stones to perform 'Brown Sugar' or Dizzee and Bowie performing a dubstep version of 'Lets Dance'. It would be insanely great.
Then Diversity could do one of their full on dance routines, followed by something from the Royal Ballet.
Top that off with a giant hologram of Patrick Stewart doing that monologue from Henry V, a flypast from the Red Arrows and a massive fireworks show, and we pretty much have it nailed.
But we HAVE to get Bowie and the Stones.

Why not mention the war? The Olympic torch run and opening ceremony was an idea dreamed up by Goebbels, Hitler's propoganda minister. But protesters beware - you may get a knock at your door...
