Loved the show.But didn't like Annie Lennox thought it was morbid and dire (i know it was about Bram Stoker but couldn't see why it was on?)
Eric Idle was one of my favourites :-D then was soo disappointed when David Bowie didn't appear...I was looking out for him :-( ....but love The Who.

Anyone else wonder why Prince William wasn't there cos he was at most of the sporting events,and I thought Harry didn't smile much.He's usually beaming isn't he? :-D

....btw who were the little people with red hair and striped suits? thought they must have been Ronald McDonald characters :-S

It was sad when the flame went out, it was absolutely wonderful, and Macca was nowhere to be seen, perfect;-) As for Posh, I noticed the camera wasn't on her for long, and I don't think it was a smile Ann, it was wind :-)

absolutely phenomenal - every superlative you can lay your tongue on!! I have never seen such a fantastic show - delight after delight - Eric Idle - Always look on the bright side of life - fab - Freddie Mercury, John Lennon - that brought tears to my eyes - the whole thing was a dream from beginning to end - I've recorded it so I can look at it again - and lovely Gary Barlow - what a star to perform after such a personal tragedy AND I think I saw Victoria Beckham smile!!!

If that didn't uplift you. I'd check your pulse.

What a show, and you know what, I don't care if it cost squillions, it was worth every single penny :-D

....and as I made London 2012, Seb said, I can bleat about it.

Thank you London you are amazing <3

Dear All

Hello

Always find the extinguishing of the Olympic flame a bit emotional.


Now, "The Who" rocks.

That's what I call singing!


Take gentle care all
Very best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

Top marks, great show. No doubt there will be bleating on about who didnt like what and how rubbish it was, but I loved it to bits and well done to all who took part.

It's nice to see people enjoying themselves without being smacked off their faces or out of their tree on drink :-)
