More than 350,000 people gathered along the banks of the Seine , determined to party.
This was to be the most democratic opening ceremony ever, the doors flung wide to the biggest possible audience to witness it live.
But the weather threatened to turn an idea that promised so much into damp squibs.
It is no mere jingoism to suggest London did all this better than Paris .
Sadly, until Dion’s intervention, what this ceremony will be largely remembered for is the world's best athletes huddled under rain protection stuck on barges they could not get off.
It was a sight reminiscent of the scenes of the Queen 's Jubilee celebration.
