I saw a post that said Olympic Ceremonies have a set pattern. They should be a spectacle, reflecting the host country’s history and culture, they should have artists that are famous in their own country, bonus points if internationally known, it should involve audience participation.

So here is a throwback to when London 2012 literally said, give me 5 minutes!

We have morris dancers, bagpipers, Welsh ladies, high kicking Roman soldiers, Bhangra dancers, inappropriate nuns, and Britannia all set to a comedy song everyone is singing along to, just as Eric Idle intended! There is even a salute to the Royal box. British humour at its finest 🇬🇧

See pack all into 5 minutes and then have an epic concert that the athletes go metal for. London understood the assignment.
