Picture of the Day: 23.07.12 - Olympic Opening Ceremony Rehearsals

I managed to get tickets for the Olympic Opening Ceremony rehearsals on Monday.  I felt too unwell to go, so sent my sisters along with the kids.  They had an absolute blast, even if they did all come utterly exhausted.  They brought back a few pics but mostly encouraged me to wait till Friday to see the full thing on TV as they didn't want to spoil the surprise.  The director Danny Boyle had asked people attending to save the surprise, and it seems most people have complied.  Two of my colleagues at work are also in the ceremony and have been telling me the little bits they are allowed to.  Pics below are mostly of elements which had already been released in the newspapers.
