The Queen with Daniel Craig and Corgies

This sequence as we know has little to do with Skyfall and more with the wonderful Olympic Games in London in 2012.

What a great event it proved to be – any of us doubters initially really had to eat their words  – because Britain staged the event just perfectly from the quirky but brilliant opening ceremony to the thrilling events right through to the close.

Daniel Craig stated much later that when he came to film this with the Queen he was nervous but she acted out her role extremely well and even made the suggestion that when he entered the room she should be writing at her desk which is how it was done as we know.

He also said that when he heard about doing this item he was in a somewhat ‘grumpy mood’ because he was expecting a few days off !!!

However – all’s well that ends well – and the sequence was very well received.
