Today is the day!
One world, one big sports event.
No riots, no wars, just one world united in celebrating man's greatest achievements through sports - the 2012 Summer Olympics or commonly known as London 2012.

To date, the identity of the person who will take on the honor of the lighting of the cauldron during the opening ceremony remains a mystery. Will it be David Beckham doing the honors? Or will it be Sir Roger Bannister, the man who first broke the 1-mile four minute barrier?
The opening ceremony will start at 9:00PM UK time (or 4:00AM Manila time). Here are some links where you can watch the Olympics online:
