On 27 July 2012, Gary Connery adjusted his wig, pulled up his tights, and put on a peach-coloured dress that was fit for a queen.
The spectacle would be a celebration of British life - with nods to the Industrial Revolution, the National Health Service, and popular music and culture. The idea was that James Bond would chaperone the Queen to the ceremony via helicopter. Once they were hovering over the stadium they would both jump out, open their parachutes, and make their descent to the stadium.
The famous Bond theme tune played out and nearly a billion people watched on in astonishment as a figure who appeared to be Her Majesty pulled open a Union Jack parachute, spiralled through the air, and landed just outside the stadium.Gary remembers:"We nailed it. If someone was to ask me the what has been the pinnacle of my career, I would say it was that jump.
