Queen could drop in on Olympic Games... via helicopter

The Queen has dedicated her life to serving others. But has she now accepted a mission on her own service?

The Londoner has been told that her Majesty is set to “drop in” to the Olympics ceremony via helicopter.

It has already been reported that Daniel Craig will help open the Olympics in character as James Bond, following a personal invitation from the Queen. This will form part of a short film made by the ceremony’s artistic director Danny Boyle in which 007 travels to Buckingham Palace to be informed that his latest mission is to launch the Olympic Games.

Now it emerges that the Queen could also accompany Bond on board the helicopter in the same film montage.

Craig will then be parachuted live into the Olympics arena for the spectacular opening ceremony this July. Ballerina Darcey Bussell is also said to be involved in the closing ceremony. Royal Ballet dancers are rumoured to appear dressed as flames and Bussell is the phoenix.

James Bond has always had a string of young females as his sidekicks But never has Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II accompanied him on a mission.
