How wonderful for the family Spruce, well done to your Niece :-)

Not long now :-D

Pity some of our great British athletes snub the National Anthem whilst representing team GB

Yes ~Lynda~ ! Just watching the crowds going into the Olympic Park their excitement is infectious !

Greatly looking forward to the Opening Ceremony tonight !

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-

Jo

Everything done for today sitting with feet up waiting for the count down and ceremony to begin. :-D

Congratulation to your niece Spruce what an achievement :-D

Great isn't it Jo :-)

I've done everything for the fortnight Lesley :-D

Let the games begin :-D :-) :-D :-)

:-D :-D :-D

What a shame, it looks as though it is raining in London, so sad after all the nice weather.

Good luck to your niece, Spruce.

Actually I wouldn't just call it culture, I'd call it a bloomin' great night ;-)

Off to watch the rest of it :-D

Wow! :-D :-D :-D

Amazing :-D

Will someone pass me a tissue please.

Well done Danny Boyle all his co-directors and the thousands of volunteers taking part . Thoroughly enjoyable mix of comedy, music and history.

The cauldron was magnificent a true work of art. :-)

Have a box of tissues Lesley :-)

Big WOW Tess :-D

Loved it all (with the exception of Paul McCartney)

Thought the cauldron idea was amazing too Jo, and absolutely loved that 7 young upcoming athletes, lit it, just what I'd hoped would of happened.
I also liked the fact that inspirational people carried the Olympic flag.

All in all an Olympic opening that was performed to inspire, and it did.

Thanks to Danny Boyle, thanks to the volunteers, and thank you London <3

Loved it all , agree with the Paul McCartney thing ..... :-(

Brilliant......!!
Posted everything I wanted to say on other thread.
But wanted to share in the enthusiasm on this one :-D :-D

Now looking forward to the games :-D

Still on a high :-D

Another thing I loved about the ceremony, was that they had construction workers there, nice touch, it wasn't celeb led either, people singing who I'd not heard of, and the signing choir was beautiful.

Don't know what to watch on t.v there are so many choices, every sport is covered, watched archery, volleyball, rowing, now the cycling, and it's only 10.30 :-)

Hope nobody visits :-D

and a word from Dan, to the people who did the lighting, especially the LEDs, he was VERY impressed! :-D

The lighting was really clever, every seat had a box in front of them with just 9 lights on it, amazing effect.

Anyone watching the cycling? Bit of a double take when loads of them got of there bikes and stood in the bushes and had a wee ! No wonder theres no women racing :-D

Yep .. Still watching the cycling, not long to go now, Team GB going great guns.

Should be doing other things but what the heck :-D

Thankyou to all who have wished my niece good look, she swims in the heats tomorrow morning. We have Hannah who is swimming in the 400 medley final tonight at around 8pm, good luck to the other brits who are swimming finals and semi finals this evening.
