Throughout the #COVID19 lockdown people have been sharing feelgood stuff that they hope will give succour to their fellow citizens. My recommendation is the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, which is available in full online
There are plenty of reasons why the #London2012 opening ceremony is perfect for these stressful times.
