The world’s spotlight turns to London’s Olympic Stadium where the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games is being held.

The athletes are now parading into the stadium. The parade of nations features most of the roughly 1500 athletes marching behind the flags of 204 nations and regions. Greece, the spiritual home of the games, has the lead. After that, countries parade in alphabetical order. Basketball player Yi Jianlian led the Chinese delegation. As the host, Team Great Britain is the last.

The ceremony has been an eccentric and exuberant celebration of British history, art and culture. Much of the show too has been an encyclopedic review of British musical history. Titled "Isles of Wonder", the show features 10,000 performers over nearly three hours. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth arrived at the opening ceremony and will help officially open the Games.

世界的焦點都集中在倫敦的奧林匹克體育場，因為2012年奧運會的開幕式正在舉行。

現在的運動員列隊進入體育場。在204個國家和地區的旗幟后是大約1500名運動員。希臘，奧運會的精神家園，具有領先地位。在此之后，國家按字母順序排列的游行。籃球運動員易建聯率領的中國代表團。作為東道主，英國隊是最后一個。

儀式一直展示的是英國的歷史，藝術和文化的慶祝活動。這次開幕式像一本百科全書展示了英國的音樂歷史。節目名為“神奇小島”，擁有超過10,000人員，近三個小時的表演。英國女王伊麗莎白二世抵達開幕式，將宣布開幕。
