The 78th minute part is where I live
the Paralympic athletes are super heroes and are true inspirations for people all over the world. they all deserve gold medals for their hard work and dedication and for not letting the differences get the best of them. I send them all my love and praise.
Extraordinary! great emotion. I was the only athlete from Albania who participated for the first time in the history of the Paralympic Games. vision 31 th minute of the video. thank you for this memory.
wonderful
That is awesome man
When I saw and researched about Paralympic Games I was like “I wanna attend the summer Paralympic Games!”
Because I was real good at Table Tennis 🏓 when I was a little girl but the only problem is that I take medicine for my depression and stuff like that.
I don’t know if I can participate or not because I take medicine for depression, my thyroid and that is all I can think of.
Man I wish I can participate in the 2024 Paralympic Games for once… just once.
To make my dreams come true.
But I am not crippled. I just have disabilities which is my diagnosis called Autism, Bipolar Disorders (I don’t know if it’s bipolar disorder one or two) Mild MR and OCD.

How come I didn't realize Paralympics have their own opening ceremony.... :(
R.I.P. Dave Toole - the aerial dancer in this video (3:10:00 to 3:16:00) - departed this Earth October 2020. :-(
I didn’t notice he died last year.
I better look it up on Wikipedia.
I was a dancer with the Blue dresses our segment was called Navigation!!! It has been a tremendous experience which I will never ever forget!!! I am so impressed how everything turned out so beautifully!!! Very very proud! Thx London 2012 for the opportunity :)))
Oh I did not know that.
Thank you for your contribution in the opening ceremony
I was lucky enough to be one of the certifying engineers on the pyrotechnics and led lights fitment on the flypast aircraft (starting at about 04:50) .... fabulous to be involved with this. I have a stunning photo on my wall of this aircraft taken after the event on a aerial photo shoot taken into a beautiful sunset at Blackbushe before we decommissioned the pyros and lights and out the plane back to original
I've got to be honest. My favorite part was the Paralympic Oath. I think all athletes regardless of their affiliation or sovereignty should take this or a similar oath at BOTH the Olympic and the Paralympic Games. This is my first Paralympic opening, and I respected and was in awe of that part more than any other part of the ceremony.
I always wanted to hear the Paralympic Hymn.
When I hear it, it will be in my heart because I have disabilities although I am not crippled nor lost any limbs but I was good at table tennis 🏓 when I was a little bitty girl.
I am so happy to see this beautiful opening ceremony😍🎊🎊

the CERN bit is interesting. Spaticus autisticus after we take a vaccine and thet turn on the machine.
Pyramids all around the stadium and Saturn worship, they can't help themselves

I'm prod to be a human being on this great big planet we call Earth!!! I am happily reminded that because I am unable to do some things, that there is so much more I can still do. God Bless all of the athletes whom have competed in these past ParAlympics and to those whom will be competing in a couple of weeks!!!
Vamos Chile !!!. Nuestros atletas entregarán su mayor esfuerzo. Lo hacen a diario.
The opening to the International Paralympic Games was extraordinary. It was inclusive, original, and all together thrilling.
I get the goosebumps when I hear the beautiful Paralympic Anthem.
these are real heroes!I should really take inspiration from them!
Umbrellas and apples are very much part of everyday life in Britain, but the ordinary became extraordinary in the Paralympic Games' ambitious and unexpectedly scientific Opening Ceremony. Themes of discovery, adventure, human endeavour and equality are so much more upbeat than the Scouring of the Shire and a painful Hey Jude. Marvellous!
yeah i love it!now why didn't they show this in the usa on tv?this is one of many reasons why my chicago didn't get the olympics.to my country it's all about the olympics only.it has to be about the paralympics too!
It's #1yearon since the London 2012 Paralympic Games. What are your favourite #ParalymmpicMemories ?
I love everything about the Paralympics, they are so inspirational and i hope 1 day i can be in the Olympics!!!!!!!!
:)

Ellie Simmons winning the gold and breaking the olympic & world record...it was awesome to watch! Wish I could have been in UK to see it happen in person! That's my top one...but there's also Oscar Pistoria and oooh so many more that I can't name them all. The athletes and games were the best I have ever watched in all the 50 yrs I've been watching them!! Well done London and Paralympics!! I'm looking forward to 2016 hope they are on na par with London but I know they will be! :-) Always are!
+Paralympic Games Easy, Peacock winning 100m gold
haha 4 years now
haha 5 years now
3:26.00. Was an amazing moment, every thing Ian Dury stood for and still does. He would have been so pleased, such a shame he never got to see this.
Who is Ian Dury? I'm four so
i think great britain is the only country that really recognize the paralympic! that is very great!
Well, Great Britain invented the paralympics so of course, they would take it seriously
@@TheGeographyWatch
I did not know that.
There was a massive ad campaign in the run up to the London 2012 Paralympics after the Olympics, just billboards everywhere saying “thanks for the warm up”, it was great!
Nigeria was very beautiful...full agbada! Nice to see other countries such as Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Namibia and Kenya represented as well.
¡Increíble! Estuve como espectador la noche de la ceremonia y desde luego en directo era impresionante ¡La mejor sin duda! The best ceremony I've ever seen!!
Thats what I mean. The olympics opening ceremony was clearly done on a bigger budget, however this one actually told a story and brought out real emotions. It was hard not to have a lump in ya throat while watching this. It showed that you don't need to go all out there with money, fireworks and so on, you just need a good form of story telling and put real heart into it.
Thank you for posting these. Please post other cities' too! :)
Amazing!!!! All those actors, dancers, and athletes are an inspiration. Also, de participation of Stephen Hawking, with a message of hope , constant struggle in life... BEAUTIFUL!!!
Astonishing Opening ceremony, but I thought it was better than the Olympic Opening Ceremony!
I was thinking about Ian Dury earlier and wishing he was alive to play here... as the Olympics had a music theme. I can hardly believe they actually did it at about 3:26:00 AWESOME!!!!
This is a different opening sequence than the official broadcast. The TV showed a video about the 7/7 bombings & the stadium had a video about 4 of the performers and their journeys. The moment when Lance corporal Rawlins said, "If you want to know what I will be doing during the ceremony, look up!" was truly stunning. He was flying the Aerobility plane. The crowd roared! I was standing in the middle of the stadium at this point and was an inspiring moment when he flew over! Thanks for posting!
The closing ceremony was AWESOME
Margaret Maughan who was the First para gold medalist and lit the para cauldron passed away on this May 20, 8 years later from then.
The national anthem was absolutely beautiful.
I was there in the Paralympic as a dancer for Reader Child No.11 and perfom after when the Paralympican Athletes had finished and I bit shy about this event,also i dance with my friends as well.Its was very wonderfull to prefom threre and i must thank the crew for picked me.
We in the US have to go on youtube or search your cable company for the NBC sports network and find the one hour a day they are broadcasting of it. Out of the 48 countries represented the US is the only one not doing the same full coverage that we give the Olympics.
Thank you SO VERY much!!!
thanks for uploading!!
Same for me Thank you!!!
The Directors want to so proud of themselves, They put on a magnificent show, Personally much more touching and better than Boyle's Ceremony.
This is ceremony is MADE IN HEAVEN!
Am the only one who thinks this ceremony was so much better than Olympic opening ????? Cause this ceremony was really cool !!!!.

No se porque pelear, el deporte nos une a todos y quien gane medallas es una satisfacción única el echo de estar ahí todos los atletas ya ganaron.

well, at least there's no ad breaks in this coverage, so you don't miss anything...
(looking right atcha, Channel 4!!!)
Rip Dave Toole (flying in like Superman white shirt) lovely dancer.
How did he pass away?
Just curious
Don't be decieved by the beauty of the stadium, it has its hidden darkness.
You done a fantastic job , well done thanks for posting ...,,it was amazing
LOL
14:09 Sir Ian Mckellen as Prospero appeared in a stunning blue and golden robe
"Miranda, go out into the world! Will you be for all of us gathering here, our eyes, our ears, and our hearts. Shine your light on to the beautiful diversity of humanity. Understand those rights, the protectors... Look up, stretch your wings and fly. Will you take this journey for all of us? And will you set us free?"
03:00:09 Sir Ian appearing again
"Miranda, Books are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, guardians of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity, imprint."

You've sailed away in search of that light and observed the wonders of science and the universe. And now, your next step. Be yourself. Be who you truly are, and help to change the world for all of us here."

Makes me feel all goose-bumpy!
いよいよ、London Paralympic が開幕しました。日本の選手の方始め、世界中の障害を持った方々が、一生懸命活躍する姿を観て、陰ながら応援させて頂きます。
フレーフレー！地球人！！
Great opening ceremony (better without commentary). Amazing super human athletes. These guys are not disabled, they are diffabled.... That is to say they're differently abled. They are the elites at their sports.
Well done everyone.
Well Said!
very impressive and well done.
i am giong to the paralympic on september 6th. cant wait
Happy memories, i was able to go to the Paralympics, coo I had that to look forward to all summer in 2012
q
Yes I'm so grateful! It's one hour a day, but better than nothing! : )
cool! i love London 2012 Paralympic Games
We are proud to have hosted both the Olympics and Paralympics, and if you think the medal tables are all that's important, you have completely missed the point. But as you bring it up, this is actually the Paralympics, in which I seem to recall GB came third and the USA was back down in SIXTH place. The USA didn't even show any live coverage of the Paralympics, which is an absolute disgrace - it was an amazing show from all the athletes of ALL nations, and from everyone involved.
The phrase 'brave new world' comes from Miranda's speech in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. It has nothing to do with Huxley's book, which used the line ironically.
I had the privilege of being at the opening ceremony and it was truly magical. The Eternal Source of Light Divine sequence was beyond words. I had tears running down my face at the beauty and poignancy of that part of the performance. 2012 made me truly proud to be a Londoner.
that was 12 years ago the special effcats in both was instail light and magic
1:38:45 MÉXICO 🇲🇽❤️
I am thanks, but for the VERY first time, I'm seeing them for an hour, but an hour is better than nothing! : ) I was to go to the Paralympics in '79, but had to have surgery, then off to College. It was meant to be. It's SO much work Leonard. : ) Are you in GB? I'm in Canada.
thank you
was so inspirational and amazing one of the best experiences of my lie!!
i love how some of the americans were gobbing off during the other olympics and everything, and people were arguing. On paralmpics i haven't seen anyone being rude, most people watching just watch it for the sport, which is how it should be!
Best paralympics i have ever seen, just watched the cycling with 2 new world records Wow!
THIS IS SPARTA!!! And Good luck for your Eurobasket 2013
amazing ceremony
What an amazing show!
I love it!
Awesome vid! Go Argentina and Canada!!!
wow amazing!
I didn't actually get to watch this when it was on tv. Why? Simple. I spent practically the entire performance stood at Bridge A (the one closest to The Orbit Tower) working as a volunteer, I'm so glad I can finally watch it.
really? that´s awesome :D thanks your so kind :3
Thanks :)
Magnifique !
It's called Entry of The Flame - look on iTunes for it, part of the Opening Ceremony when (surprise!) the flame came into the stadium.
It feels like the Christmas season
It is when the Paralympic flag is carried, after the Athletes come in.
I did, I was there , I loved it, If you look at all my comments ive been saying how much beauty there is in this ceremony. I must have made a spelling mistake on one of my comment saying I did not find any beauty in it. Literally I found it incredible and this was the best ceremony Personally I think London has done so far in the olympics and paralympics. Ive been having this argument with this person as she found it boring and embaressing saying it was for old people. But i changed her opinion.
I just watched this in 2016. Gourgeos. Hoping Rio will be as good as this one!
It was better
Rio did a pretty cool job with the smart projections on the floor. I loved it.
Stop the video at 0:22:44 and you will find an usual thing. I was appart of the paralympics both performing and volunteering. It was the best thing I ever done.
I was appart of the opening ceremony (the paralympics) I was a marshal the ones in yellow blue dancing when the athelths came in. It was the best thing that i have ever done.
2:02:00 It's Oscar Pistorius that made me aware of the Paralympics and the impressive abilities of the athletes. He has my utmost respect for that.
Great games, great show. For me the highlights of the show are David Toole dancing at around 3:11:32, and Spasticus Autisticus at around 3:26:00 - Though check out Ian Dury's original.
Yes, that is Ian McKellan.
Amazing show! Thank you so much!
Wow that was so much more interesting than the Normal Olympics thumbs up for acceptance in difference
But this one, it was in an astounding league of its own :D
1:18:16 here my Indians........ Future ultimate superpower..... Love my india
Due to this I subscribed to you.
I wish both Olympics were just as well covered. The Olympics and Paralympics are both about the human spirit and drive conquering the body. Mind over matter. I wish I saw more of the Paralympics but all I caught was the swimming. :( I would have loved to watch the Opening and Closing Ceremonies when they were actually broadcasted but, I was only notified about the events on Facebook and kept forgetting to tune in.
Me too, in a HEARTBEAT!!!
Dude, oldest profile i've ever found
I'm there :) One of the most fun thing I've ever done. Loved it!
I agree, I thought the olympic opening was to much history and I had no clue of what it all was, but this one was incredible, you didt have to know what whats, it was beautiful to watch with all the diffrent colours and costumes. Much like beijing.
my sun who nearly lost his hand by a sniper in Afganistan hopefully will be
there next paralympics he is well on the way to recovery and hopefully
will have left the Talliban and we will have Peace by the time the next
ones come around, and have the Afgan Flag flying high with a GOLD medal..
Wish I was there! x
And WAY snappier outfits than the Olympic teams, way more fun!
thanks a lot, i didn't know i could tweak my sounds.
i just wanted to feel like i was actually at the ceremony.
going to have a tinker and watch it again.
Also the sound was muffled for several minutes from about 2 minutes in. This seems like a "rough draft edit" of the ceremony, please can we have the polished real version soon? Thanks!!! Loved it!!!
its ok sound wasnt at beginning of clip - got it now! thanks
