FILMMAKER Danny Boyle has dismissed suggestions he could be knighted for his spectacular Olympic opening ceremony, claiming he is an "equal citizen".
The Slumdog Millionaire director, 56, has been tipped for the honour in the New Year Honours List following his triumphant success with the £27 million production, which kicked off London 2012.
However, he said: "I'm very proud to be an equal citizen and I think that's what the opening ceremony was actually about."
