I mean we had the Queen jumping out of a helicopter (kinda) and James Bond, but we didn’t have a damp Katherine Jenkins belting out GSTQ from the top of Battersea Power Station so they’ve got us there
….a damp Katherine Jenkins 😍

They've had to turf 300 river cruising pensioners off that river boat for the French team to fit on it.

While I agree with the general point that other countries views of London 2012 may vary from ours (I once read a snippet of a Chinese article which described the games in general as one of the worst of all time), I'm not sure those are the best examples. Mr Bean, Bond and the Queen are up there as the most internationally well known and popular cultural exports/symbols to have come from Britain. I expect all the NHS and Industrial Revolution stuff probably raised more eyebrows abroad.
From an online article

The stats are so large that it is sometimes hard to comprehend: Mr Bean has amassed more than 30 million subscribers across three YouTube channels with over 11 billion lifetime views, and Mr Bean is the number one TV brand on Facebook globally, with 98 million fans. In fact, he is the 14th biggest page on Facebook with a bigger following than Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, Manchester United, Katy Perry… the list goes on.
