All about sports in India: Opening Ceremony London 2012 Olympic Games

It is an historic event that will be watched all over the world and of course all eyes were on the Royal family as they arrived.
The Olympics Opening Ceremony was not only attended by Price Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall, but of course the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as well.
As the young royal couple took their place inside the Olympic Stadium they were seen looking rather fascinated as they watched the Red Arrows fly over ahead.

Colour coordinated: Kate looked stunning in a light blue Christopher Kane coat dress while Prince William looked smart in a navy blue suit

The pair were spotted pointing in the sky as they flew over ahead and appeared to be in good spirits and just as excited about the start of the games as everyone else.
The Red Arrows flew overhead from east to west, leaving a spectacular trail of red, white and blue vapour.
The sound of the jet's engines was dwarfed by the cheers of the baying crowd below, but it wasn't the first time that a London crowd has been treated to an appearance from them this year as last month they flew past the crowd at Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen's Jubilee.

The pretty brunette represented the country in an ice blue coat dress by cutting-edge Scottish fashion designer Christopher Kane and wore her hair down in a wavy style.
Meanwhile, Prince William looked smart in a navy blue suit, white shirt and a pink tie.

Kate was seen having a short chat with London Mayor Boris Johnson before the ceremony began and was smiling broadly as she did so.

Sticking together: Prince Harry stayed close to his brother and sister-in-law as they waited for the events to begin

Someone else who was having a good time was the Duchess of Cornwall who was seen sharing a private joke with Prince Charles as they took their seats.
Camilla looked elegant in a cream dress and matching jacket which she teamed with a set of pearls and a Union Jack heart-shaped badge.
Prince Charles stuck to the same colour as his eldest son and wore a navy blue suit, a white shirt and a blue patterned tie.

Nice to see you: Prince Harry was seen greeting Princess Anne and her husband

It was also Prince Harry's colour of choice who was seen sticking fairly close to his sister-in-law as she mingled with those nearby.
Prince Harry was earlier seen greeting Princess Anne and her husband Timothy Laurence before the ceremony started.
Of course, the Queen also arrived and did so rather spectacularly as she made an entrance by dropping in from a helicopter by parachute accompanied by James Bond.

The surreal sequence followed a short film featuring the actor Daniel Craig soaring across the streets of London before the pair apparently took the plunge.
Stuntmen dressed in a tuxedo and a peach-coloured dress really made the leap using Union Jack parachutes, and the Queen accompanied by Prince Philip then emerged and took their seat in the Royal Box.
She, along with the rest of the Royal family, were treated to a fantastic opening which was organised by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle.

And it seems that the Duchess of Cambridge was a huge fan of the show as she smiled the whole way through.
Despite it being a long day for the pretty Royal after she attended an early evening reception at Buckingham Palace where she mingled with the U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama.
Meanwhile, another member of the Royal family was mingling with someone a bit more sporty.
Prince Harry was seen standing next to Olympic gold medallist Amy Williams as she arrived at the ceremony.
