London 2012: Isles of Wonder theme for Olympic ceremony

Europe's largest bell will ring to start a £27m Olympic opening ceremony inspired by Shakespeare and featuring NHS nurses and 900 local pupils.
The show's artistic director, Danny Boyle, said the 'Isles of Wonder' ceremony was inspired by The Tempest.
Six months before the performance kicks off London 2012, the Oscar winner said it would be about a land recovering from its industrial legacy.
One billion people are expected to watch the opening ceremony on 27 July.
