   The third Olympics held in London formally opened today. In the opening ceremony, the happy, peaceful faces of the athletes in the long entrance procession were very impressive. On a grassy little hill made in the stadium, Queen Elizabeth and other organizing committee members were standing, and torch runners came running with torches and lit the Olympic cauldron. The fireworks burst across the sky, and the whole city of London looked so beautiful.
