The 86-year-old monarch showed her sense of humor when she appeared as herself in a pre-recorded short film for the London Olympics opening ceremony with James Bond actor Daniel Craig.
In the film, Craig arrived at her private study in Buckingham Palace, where she said 'Good evening, Mr. Bond" before the pair boarded a helicopter.
Moments after the film ended Friday, stunt doubles of the pair parachuted into the Olympic Stadium.
The Telegraph newspaper quoted BBC's director of Drama Production, Nicholas Brown, as saying the queen gave a professional performance and "got it in one take."
Later, the queen also officially declared the London Olympics open moments after midnight.
