'We lit the flame, and we lit up the world' Lord Coe

It was the Olympic Games we will never forget; an extraordinary event in Britain's history with intense drama, sporting brilliance and heart-wrenching emotion. Capturing the key moments of the Games, including a specially-edited version of the entire Opening Ceremony from Director Danny Boyle, over seven hours of sporting highlights and the full Closing Ceremony, these day-by-day highlights relive the triumphs, moving stories and memories that will live on forever.

Experience once again the magnificent performances from outstanding athletes such as Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Chris Hoy and Jessica Ennis. Marvel at the many amazing achievements, including Mo Farah's double gold, Oscar Pistorius' Olympic Games debut and Nicola Adams' gold in the boxing ring. Relive Team GB's 29 gold medal triumphs and recapture the moments which made these Olympic Games so special; from the electrifying atmosphere in the stadium on 'Super Saturday' to judo's Gemma Gibbons' tearful dedication and the pure emotion of swimmer Chad le Clos' father.

DISC 1 - The Opening Ceremony: Part One

The spectacular Opening Ceremony was an unforgettable start to the London 2012 Olympic Games. In this exclusive director's cut by Danny Boyle, we relive the entire ceremony in all its splendour. This is also accompanied by a fascinating audio commentary by Danny Boyle and writer Frank Cottrell Boyce where they reveal for the first time, in detail, how they orchestrated this spectacular event, providing a unique insight into the journey through British history.

DISC 2 - The Opening Ceremony: Part Two / Sporting Highlights (Days 1 - 6) Including:

Team GB's first medal from Lizzie Armitstead
The first gold from rowers Helen Glover and Heather Stanning

DISC 5 - Closing Ceremony

The London 2012 Olympic Games ended in style with a celebration of music and sporting achievement, created by Kim Gavin. It marked the end of an amazing chapter in London's life and featured an array of British artists from the last 50 years including Eric Idle, The Kinks, The Spice Girls and Jessie J.

  • Director's Cut and Commentary from Danny Boyle
  • Isles of Wonder Deconstructed - The Thames is "liquid history". Discover how the visual effects team created a thrilling animated journey up the river from its source, to the Olympic stadium itself - passing sights real and imaginary.
  • Nimrod - The sound of the shipping forecast and billowing blue sheets transform our meadow into "an isle of wonder", to the stirring sound of Elgar's Nimrod, as played by the London Symphony Orchestra's On Track project.
  • Frank Turner in the Green and Pleasant Land - Frank Turner's acoustic songs performed in the stadium perfectly captured the atmosphere of a long summer evening.
  • Thanks Tim Projection House - This ambitious section celebrates the amazing technology that makes us dance, helps us communicate, commute, remember, and dream and most of all fall in love.

 'THE WORLD WATCHED IN 'AWE'

2012....'GB' has had a whole lot to be proud, of and of course enjoy, despite the economic gloom the crowds turned out in their millions to watch and be a part of events such as 'the queens' 60th anniversary celebrations and of course 'the olympic games'
our athletes in both events outstriped everyone's expectations, including mo's double gold and yes 'andy murray' winning at wimbledon, just to pin point a couple of our many memories.
also it would be fair to say nobody really expected the 'UK' to equall the splendour of the 'beijing' opening and closing ceremonies, however most feel we topped it.
who will forget things like the queen's sporting gesture in taking part in the 'bond' sequence............great stuff and so much more.
( wish the BBC had covered both events )
with highlights of all our favourite moments from the games and the ceremonies, this 5-disc set is truly a superb keepsake.
