The Olympic Association of Israel releases a photo of some members of the Israeli delegation in their uniforms ahead of tonight’s opening ceremony in Paris.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to turn out to watch the 10,500 Olympic athletes parade down the River Seine in boats, in an event watched by hundreds of millions around the world on TV.
A huge artistic display has also been kept tightly under wraps in the run-up to the event.
