Queen, Mr Bean and Bond start the Games
The Queen made her movie acting debut on Friday night as she joined James Bond in the spectacular Olympic Games opening ceremony.
In a scene filmed in advance and screened for the first time, Bond actor Daniel Craig arrives at Buckingham Palace in a dinner jacket, striding past the corgis towards the royal study.
"Good evening Mr Bond," says the Queen, before they leave together, apparently heading towards the Olympic Stadium in a helicopter.
Back in real time, to peels of laughter and delight from the crowd, "the Queen" followed by "Bond", parachuted from a helicopter towards the arena.
Seconds later the real Queen and Prince Philip received a standing ovation as they arrived.
Earlier Tour de France hero Bradley Wiggins rang the giant bell which marked the start of the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Wearing a yellow jersey Wiggins, who less than a week ago became the first British man to win the tour, was greeted with cheers at the Olympic Park.
It was the dramatic start of a breathtaking ceremony capturing the best of Britain, by turn moving and funny.
Some details of the Bond stunt had emerged in advance of the STG27 million ($A41.01 million) opening ceremony - the brainchild of Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle.
But the Queen's role - played to perfection - still left the audience awe-struck and delighted both in the stadium and around the world.
"The Queen made herself more accessible than ever before," Boyle said earlier on Friday.
In another surprise Rowan Atkinson in his Mr Bean character created comic havoc as Sir Simon Rattle conducted the theme from Chariots of Fire.
The show started simply with the Stadium turned into a meadow, a green and pleasant land.
The world's largest harmonically-tuned bell, weighing 23 tonnes and measuring two metres tall and three metres wide, rang inside the stadium to start a Shakespeare-inspired spectacle featuring 900 children from the six east London host boroughs.
Oscar winner Boyle, the man responsible for the remarkable transformation of the stadium where the athletics will take place, said: "Tonight's a warm-up act for the Games.
"That's one of the things you have to keep remembering.
"You big it up for different reasons, and you hear it bigged up or slammed or whatever it is and you've got to keep remembering we're the warm-up act."
As warm up acts go, it was hot.

About Mr. Bean
 |
| Mr. Bean |
Mr. Bean is a British comedy television programme series of 14 half-hour episodes written by and starring Rowan Atkinson as the title character. Different episodes were also written by Robin Driscoll, Richard Curtis and one by Ben Elton. The pilot episodewas broadcast on ITV on 1 January 1990, with the last television episode, "Goodnight Mr. Bean" broadcast on 31 October 1995. The final episode, "Hair by Mr. Bean of London", was a video exclusive released on 15 November 1995, but not broadcast in the UK until 2006.
Based on a character originally developed by Atkinson while he was studying for his master's degree at Oxford University, the series follows the exploits of Mr. Bean, described by Atkinson as "a child in a grown man's body", in solving various problems presented by everyday tasks and often causing disruption in the process. Bean rarely speaks, and the largely physical humour of the series is derived from his interactions with other people and his unusual solutions to situations. The series was influenced by physical performers such as Jacques Tati and comic actors from silent films.
During its five-year run, the series gained large UK audience figures, including 18.74 million for the 1991 episode "The Trouble With Mr. Bean". The series has been the recipient of a number of international awards, including the Rose d'or. The show has been sold in 245 territories worldwide, and has inspired an animated cartoon spin-offand two feature films.
