Superb stuff! Proud to be a Brit tonight

I was watching the ceremony with my family but, at the risk of being lynched, we were underwhelmed to say the least. The only bit I really liked was Mr Bean on the organ. Oh well, the Olympics are about the sporting events anyway.

Mr Bean was awesome, and the Bond bit was funny. Was pretty cool in 3D

My daughter rang me half way through. She was at Womad watching Jimmy Cliff. Much better idea. Best bit has been the queens face!

Well I for one thought it was great apart from Paul McCartney ...

I think Danny did a fantastic job, with great visuals and sound. I was worried it was going to be another millenium dome evening. But he proved me well wrong.

Agree, Danny really pulled it off, all except for sir Paul......well past it.
Mike old field was great and I loved the chimneys!

Highlight.......ken branagh's stove pipe hat!

Will have to see if I can find some highlights somewhere. We've been in Liverpool all day, just got home. Been to the Philharmonic Hall

this evening

Who lit the torch? Someone exciting?

I have it recorded on Sky+ so can whizz past any boring bits. We went to see Batman instead - perfect timing, just a third full thus reducing the wrapper rustling andphone fiddling irritations to a minimum

Tower bridge to Olympic park....beckham
Into stadium....Sir Steve Redgrave
Lit cauldron. Group of young athletes of the future

You have to see the cauldron.........amazing!

 

[clowesa]

Definitely, and I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes when I saw the cauldron lit, it was absolutely stunning!

Cool thanks, just getting up now, will take a look
