At last, tonight we’ll find out the answer to the question I posed four years ago: how will Rio reply to Happy and Glorious? I know I said yesterday that I was looking forward to the Rio games being completely different to London’s, and that their ceremonies would be full of latin american flair, but I’m nonetheless itching to see if they continue that meme. I seems to me that to have the queen escorted to our opening ceremony by James Bond was so original, unexpected and jaw-droppingly brilliant that it demands a response. After all, who would ever expected us fusty old brits to pastiche one of our oldest institutions in such a way? Who would ever have expected to see the queen parachuting out of a helicopter with 007, Bond theme ablaze? I hope the Brazilians take up the gauntlet that film threw down, and echo it with something similarly novel.
