I'm not a sporting person, but I do like to watch the opening ceremony of the olympics whoever the host is. But I didn't like our first bit, the industrial revolution it just didn't make any sense, I'm glad we had the comentary otherwise I wouldn't of had a clue. Otherwise my best bits were the James Bond bit bringing in the Queen & Becks driving the speed boat to bring the flame up the Thames.
I would like to go to an olympic opening ceremony, I've just told OH I'd like to go, just planting the seed, bit by bit, & eventually he'll think it was his idea & suggest we go to one, well we can all live in hope

I agree, I'm so glad I stayed up to watch the cauldron it was amazing.

I had had a long and busy day and was going to go to bed early, sat down for two minutes just to watch the beginning, and was hooked right to the end. How was it possible to organise all those people, most of them amateurs, lots of them children, to perform so well. The rehearsals must have been endless.
And technically it was brilliant. The lighting, all the special effects, the fireworks - and of course the cauldron. Just as they were about to light the first of the copper petals the commentator said that it had been designed by Thomas Heatherwick, who is one of my heros, and I just knew it was going to do something spectacular, and I wasn't wrong!

I will be a Princess!
I was a bit gutted...after staying awake to watch most of the ceremony I fell asleep before the Queen opened the ceremony and the cauldron was lit That was the only bit I really wanted to see!

I absolutely loved the opening ceremony, I thought to start with Jerusalem was amazing and I loved the industrial revolution and the NHS part. In fact, the only bit I didn't like was Abide with me. Now, I understand the sentiment but I don't think it was a fitting end to the opening part....
The teams coming out really needs speeding up a bit but the whole lighting of the flame was phenomenal, passing the torch onto the next generation was a wonderful thing to do.
I think the whole opening ceremony team did an amazing job.
As for the sports - I'm watching things I would never watch, I just flick it on and see what catches my eye!!!
