(Picture; Reuters) The prime minister was at the memorable Danny Boyle-created opening ceremony and has maintained that the UK is ready to host the Games despite tough economic conditions. ?The opening ceremony has been a great showcase for this country. It?s more proof Britain can deliver,? he tweeted.

Cameron said yesterday. The epic 3?-hour opening ceremony was hailed as the funniest and most eccentric ever with even an appearance by Mr Bean.

The footballer was at the centre of intense speculation about how he would fit into the lavish spectacle after playing a pivotal role in securing the Games seven years ago.

It was eventually passed on to seven young British hopes for future Games. They lit fires in tiny copper petals left on the ground by each competing country, triggering the illumination of 200 more petals and sending the fire rising into one ?flame of unity?. Famous Olympians from the past joined them for the moment ? long jumper Lynn Davies, swimmer Duncan Goodhew, runner Dame Kelly Holmes, pentathlete Dame Mary
