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

Shelley, I think you will find that there will be a photo of everyone there taken, and put on line, where you can zoom in and find yourself, they do this at lots of events now, and I'm sure at such a massive event it'll be done :-D

Susan, what a lovely bit of history the ticket is to have, my father in law never kept his ticket, what a shame :-(

You're right Jo, all athletes taking part, need a big applause for there hard work, and although I want the GB team to do fantastic, above all, I want it to be a safe & happy games :-)

Only one day to go....Wooohooo :-D :-D

How amazing Susan-NZ that your mum still has her ticket after all these years.

Good to see you supporting your Country ! All athletes taking part deserve to be applauded on their hard work and dedication to their sports :-)


Jo

My Mum still has her ticket from the 1948 London games.....

She watched Fanny Blankers-Kohen race.

We watched a documentary this week on the building of the Olympic Park, amazing, especially the machine that 'washed' the toxic soils clean.

Go NZ !!!! :-)

Shelley, if he is working there, he must have friends with a sophisticated mobile inc camera. See if you can persuade him to have a picture taken and emailed to you.

Lynda i would realy like a photo of him being there but dont no if that is going to be poserble
on the 2011 census i made share i put him down as working at the olympic park so a photo for family tree would be lovey

Absolutely ! :-)

Didn't they do well, great start for the GB team :-)

Well done to the GB ladies football team :-D

Didn't we sort the timing out this morning? Or are the descriptions on Sky programme planner wrong?

According to that, the opening ceremony starts on the TV at NINE pm not 7pm. - from 7 it says there is a two hour pre-ceremony TV programme, which possibly may include Lynda's 'big' thing at 20:12.

If someone could check other sources, it would be helpful.

Worth watching for the history part Stray, Father in law was at the 1948 games, and talks about it, so my Grandchildren, have a Great Grandfather, and a Nanny who were at Olympic stadiums 64 apart, nice bit of history for them :-)

That's what I like to hear Sue....dedication :-D

That's fantastic Shelley, he'll talk about it for years :-D

It isn't hype at all Ronald, it's spectacular, go on, have a watch, you just might enjoy yourself :-D
