Thanks Rio - you just made London 2012 look even better than it already was!

I being to think the Beijing ceremony will ever be topped in pure grandeur and scale.

Seb did a good job... did us proud.

I think we can all agree, a thoroughly underwhelming night. But a fantastic two weeks... Ah well..

It's amazing what you can do with thousands of children and fear.

Kind of. We had a London bus exploding *fairly shortly after the London bombings* and Robert Plant

I was about to say something like this.

They had an unfair advantage.

I think we've done well to fill a three hour show like this - the opening ceremony had a long pause with the athletes parade and although they all arrived this evening, it was much quicker here so there's been a lot of time to fill.

Not the best ceremony but an amazing 2 weeks of sport, inspiration and personality, opened by one of the best ceremonies ever.

Rio got no chance

I disagree, I thought that closing ceremony was pretty good. As for the blanket showing of inane, awful talking by the BBC... well, that wasn't good.
