This year's show is called the 'Isle of Wonder.' A celebration of British culture, with a touch of Shakespeare, pop music, James Bond — and even some farm animals. Up to a billion people are expected to tune in to the $42 million, three-hour extravaganza.

Over 15,000 volunteers have worked together on the show that will bring you through the rich and textured journey through British history.

The man behind the massive Opening Ceremony effort is Director Danny Boyle.

Boyle says there will be sheep, horses, a cricket game, and Paul McCartney.

Reports are also suggesting a pre-recorded segment filmed inside Buckingham Palace featuring actor Daniel Craig as Bond, and a stuntman dressed as 007 who will parachute into the stadium to start the show.

Each of Great Britain's four nations — England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — will be represented by a maypole topped with their national flowers, according to the Associated Press. "A pagan folk symbol, the maypole is still commonly erected in British villages during May Day celebrations (as well as elsewhere in Europe) to celebrate the return of warmer weather."

Expect dancing nurses.

Boyle says dancing nurses will be used to celebrate the National Health Service, the country's universal health program.
