I do love the opening ceremonies of the summer games. Usually, they incorporate as much of their culture and history as possible for the hosting country as they can and London was no exception. Traveling along the Thames to it's history on how England was built. They incorporated a lot of it's pop culture icons like James Bond, Mary Poppins and more complete with an elegant cameo of her majesty, the Queen. Then, Mr. Bean showed up.

Rowan Aktinson, best known for his bumbling character Mr. Bean, decided to show up and, well, basically be himself.
