    Inside the Enlightenment Paralympic Ceremony

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter chopsm was lucky enough to snag a ticket for the Paralympic Games opening ceremony in London on Wednesday night and captured some of the sights and sounds around the event. "For me the best moment was when the athletes of Paralympics Team GB [Great Britain] entered the Olympic Stadium to the roar of 80,000 people," he said. "It was very emotional and an experience that will stay with me for a very long time."
    - sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer

    The opening ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympics is now complete and the Superhumans will complete for medals over the coming 2 weeks.

    After watching the buzz and excitement of the Olympics, as well as report stories here on ireport, I at last got tickets and witnessed this wonderful event for myself.

    My photographs try to capture the best moments of this wonderful experience. Union Flags being waved with determination and pride by thousands and thousands of people. But for me the best moment was when the athletes of ParalympicsGB entered the Olympic Stadium to the roar of 80,000 people. It was very emotional and an experience that will stay with me for a very long time.

    Welcome to the second part of London 2012, we are open once again for business!
