BBC captions for photos of the Commonwealth opening ceremony, or drug-crazed techno-surrealist dream sequence?

“The Queen and Prince Phillip arrive at the Opening Ceremony for the 18th Commonwealth Games. Metal fishes illuminate the Yarra River and spray water into the sky, as the ceremony splurges outside of the ground. As the ceremony proceeds, a flying Melbourne tram enters the arena in front of 80,000 spectators. A boy takes part in an amusing and magical adventure which includes a giant koala and a toy duck. Ballerinas then fly above the lit-up stadium before fireworks shower out from jets attached to their feet. The Queen’s message opens with; ‘We celebrate the value of sport as a means of bringing together people from 71 nations’. Delta Goodrem sings amidst glittering fireworks which are set off from in-line skaters’ trailing sparks.”
