All The Highlights From The Paralympics Opening Ceremony [GALLERY]

Last night saw the opening ceremony of the Paralymic Games in London. Professor Stephen Hawking took centre stage and led a host of deaf and disabled artists, local children and performers newly trained in circus skills. Sir Ian McKellen also acted scenes from Shakespeare's The Tempest in the role of Prospero, and a 430-strong deaf choir had sung God Save the Queen – who also happened to be there. Check out all the colourful action inside.
