These are beautiful photos from RIO 2016 Olympics Opening Ceremony held last night. I must tell you, Brazil really knows how to light up the world. So so beautiful. It was broadcast to an estimated audience of three billion, the ceremony celebrated Brazil's history and natural beauty, before former marathon runner Vanderlei de Lima lit the Olympic cauldron.

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray led the British team into the arena. The build-up to Rio 2016 has been played out against a deep recession and political protests in Brazil. But organisers will hope the focus can now shift to the action in 28 sports, with 207 teams, after the Games of the 31st Olympiad were officially opened.

The cauldron was lit by De Lima, who won bronze for Brazil in the marathon at the 2004 Games after he was grappled by a spectator while leading the race. Football legend Pele had ruled himself out of performing the role saying he was not in the right "physical condition".
