HRH Queen Elizabeth II shows off her fun side acting along side Daniel Craig for the London 2012 Opening Ceremony.
After a film portraying her life, we all saw it and thought yes, it's Britain, include the Queen in the opening ceremony...but of course it will actually be Helen Mirren. That is, until the moment Bond clears his throat to get her attention and we see the true face of our 86 year old Monarch. After 60 years on the thrown you think you know a gal...apparently not.
Many think of British aristocracy as "stiff upper lipped" but this snippet of her Majesty demonstrates one doesn't always need to be so serious. Although her official duty in the ceremony was to declare this years games open, it was eclipsed by the crowds enjoyment of her "entrance" with Bond, James Bond.
Utterly Brilliant and proud to say #thatsbrit
BBC won't allow me to put the video here, so here's the LINK to the official BBC video here
