Celebrities and world leaders watched on as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games got underway.
A global audience of over one billion people is expected to watch the opening ceremony, which has seen the whole of central Paris turned into an open-air theatre.
Earlier, arson attacks on France’s high-speed rail network early on Friday paralysed train travel to Paris for around 800,000 people across Europe, according to the CEO of national railway company SNCF.
