She's your queen if she's staring at you on your money. Show respect to the flag, missy!

Need I say more?

The US team.

First time in Olympic history that all of the major teams (whatever that means) have at least 1 woman on their teams.

And they are officially on.

The Queen has proclaimed the games open.

Flag is being carried in. No visual on the torch yet.

Muhammed Ali is there...he's like an honorary flag bearer or something.

David Beckham is still driving a boat.

The torch is close. Beckham drove the boat carrying the torch.

Olympic oath time....I'm looking at you Usain Bolt.

Here comes the torch.

Torch carried in by 7 young up and coming potential Olympic stars.

Still a mystery as to where the cauldron is located.

They're lighting this big metal contraption in the middle of the stadium.

They're lifting up to form a giant single cauldron. Cool.
