On 27 July 2012, Bradley Wiggins rang the bell that signalled the start of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. Three years later, we asked BuzzFeed UK readers for their memories of the games.

"From the second the kid started singing 'Jerusalem', I was a goner! I loved every bit of it, and cried out of pride throughout the whole thing. It gave me a spark of hope that maybe, just maybe, we might just have a good games!"

"Just feeling so proud to be British – which I think can be difficult in this country."

"It was SO GOOD! J.K. Rowling reading, massive Voldemort puppet, the Queen jumping out of a helicopter with James Bond, Shakespeare, and Ken Branagh! It was just the epitome of British creative eccentricity!"

"The opening ceremony was fantastic, the torch itself was simply stunning. It was a very British ceremony which was understated in a way that knew it couldn't compete with Beijing – however, there was undeniably a feelgood factor provided."

"I was round my boyfriend's house and we had a get-together. There was wine and family and friends. I remember getting emotional when the last Olympic ring was 'crafted' and rose to join the others. But the most emotional moment was Team GB entering the stadium to 'Heroes'. I felt this swell of patriotic happiness. What an entrance!"

"The giant Voldemort was legitimately the best thing I have ever witnessed in my whole life. Also, Rowan Atkinson."
