Ten years on from Danny Boyle's extraordinary Olympics opening ceremony in London, Britain is gearing up yet again to put on a show for the world to enjoy.
The Commonwealth Games 2022 will get underway this evening (Thursday 28 July) with an opening ceremony in Birmingham. It will kick off nearly two weeks of competition, involving 6,500 athletes across 19 different sports.
The ceremony, which is directed by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, will take place at the Alexandra Stadium - the same venue that will host all track and field events.
