Your excellent coverage of the Olympic opening ceremony (28 July) could benefit from a few additional accolades. To organise such a panoply of scenes and thousands of individuals seamlessly took real genius. Imagine what Britain could be like if politicians or bankers had such organising skills. And the awesome sequence of lighting effects, which turned the stadium into a succession of jewel-like cameos and kaleidoscopic panoramas, demanded a quite outstanding level of professionalism on the part of the lighting engineers and designers. But most importantly, all hail Danny Boyle for his joyful celebration of ordinary people. What a marvel that this anarchic song to humanity has reverberated round the planet, seen by billions. What a riposte to the powerbrokers, arms traders and all those others who work against a sane and humane existence.
