Ceremony footage disappears
Some spectators uploaded video of Wednesday night’s run through despite an appeal from the show’s artistic director, Danny Boyle, not to spoil the surprise.
Recordings of the £27m ceremony were removed from the website on “copyright grounds”, while Twitter users were urged to report any leaked footage of the rehearsals.
One video on YouTube was replaced with a message stating: “This video contains content from International Olympic Committee, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”
