Favorites Friday: Moments From the London 2012 Opening Ceremony

Can you believe it's been a whole year since the opening ceremony of London 2012? I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I remember watching that ceremony like it was yesterday -- I was curled up on the couch, trying not to cry, and flailing at my parents because "THIS IS THE BEST PART!" every five minutes.

In honor of the first anniversary, I decided to do my first re-watch of the ceremony... and I was NOT expecting to get as emotional as I did. Though, in my defense, I cried at the same things I did last year. And it probably didn't help that I just got a "one year on" thank-you email from my old London 2012 Ceremonies volunteer coordinator in the middle of the athlete procession. (So. Many. Feelings.)

So what would be a more appropriate commemorative post than my favorite moments from the London 2012 Opening Ceremony?

Answer: nothing.



























Well, that was equal parts fun and depressing.

If you too want to relive London, you can watch the full ceremony here and, for "live" tweets from the games, follow @London2012Plus1 on Twitter!

    I watched it LIVE on TV! I can't forget a part of it! Mr Bean's appearance just tickled me, he's a favourite comedian since I was a kid! Thankies for putting all this together! One Direction were my favourite part from Closing ceremony! ;)

      So jealous you watched it live! NBC delayed everything and I had to avoid all social media if I wanted to stay spoiler-free (even though I worked on the ceremony and knew what was going to happen, lol). But yesss Mr. Bean was hilarious!

      Thanks for reading! :)

      Thanks girl! :) One Direction was actually the closing ceremony, and I might have to do a "Best Of" for that one too, lol.
