First Olympic Parade of Nations

According to Official Guinness Records,

The 1908 Games had originally been awarded to Rome, but when it became clear that the Italian capital would not be capable of hosting the competition due to the recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the venue was hastily switched to London. On 27 April 1908, the Games opened with the first ever Parade of Nations, which saw the athletes of each nation enter the Olympic Stadium together behind their national flags
