Connery and Mark Sutton, the parachutist who replaced the actor Daniel Craig as Bond, took off at 8.50pm as Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at the Olympic Park。
Connery 和代替邦德扮演者丹尼尔克雷格的跳伞的运动员Mark Sutton在8点50分就已搭直升机起飞。此时，伊丽莎白女王与爱丁堡公爵已到达奥林匹克公园。
For half an hour, as Queen Elizabeth mingled behind the scenes, the helicopter hovered above east London, moving over the stadium at 9.30pm. The sequence worked perfectly, creating the impression that Queen Elizabeth had performed the jump。
将近一个半小时，伊丽莎白女王都藏在场景中，直升飞机在伦敦东部盘旋，到9点半时向着体育场飞去。这一系列工作做的非常出色，让观众们都相信伊丽莎白女王确实跳伞了。
When the idea was pitched to Buckingham Palace by Lord Coe, chairman of the Olympics organising committee, Queen Elizabeth embraced it. A London 2012 spokesman said the monarch had “really liked the concept” and “didn't take much persuading”。
当这个想法第一次由伦敦奥委会主席柯伊勋爵提出的时候，伊丽莎白女王接受了。2012伦敦奥运会的发言人说当时女王“非常喜欢这个想法”并“没有多费口舌来劝说”。
Recalling his trepidation about the approach, Frank Cottrell Boyce, who wrote the script for the ceremony, said: “We had no idea if she would agree to the idea of filming - let alone playing herself. “
当开幕式的总策划 Frank Cottrell Boyce 回想起当时对于这个计划时的忧虑，他说：“我们不知道她是不是会接受电影这个点子，更不用说让她亲自上阵了。”
The video sequence that preceded the jump was directed by Danny Boyle in the palace's east gallery and audience room earlier this year. Despite it being Queen Elizabeth's acting debut, it was shot in a single take. She also picked her favourite corgis, Holly and Monty, to star in the film。
跳伞之前的影片由Danny Boyle在白金汉宫东面的画廊与接见室拍摄。尽管是伊丽莎白女王的首次触电，但是所有的镜头都一次即过。女王还带上了她最爱的小狗， Holly和 Monty与她一起拍摄。
