Have to say that hearing eclipse whilst the fireworks were going off gave me goosebumps.

Great show I thought.

I wasn't going to watch the ceremony, as I just had no interest.. But wow! Just amazing tbh.

Supurb, great start, whole thing full of humour, a little pomp, a little circumstance, some reflection and one doozy of a cauldren. Brilliant!

My thoughts entirely, but unfortunately in the UK these days it's cool to hate :rolleyes:

Loved every bit to be honest (well minus the countries coming out which always drags on but cannot be helped really).

Johnnytoxic · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:55

The Queens getting worse, so so miserable. Can't even smile when the worlds watching.

Von Smallhausen · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:55

Great to see Muhammad Ali there but heartbreaking to see him in such poor health.

Still the Greatest though.

LOAM · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:55

Its getting a 10/10 from me, totally bonkers.

Bennie-Mac · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:56

Tuned in expecting it to be a terrible cheese fest, but credit where it's due that was actually pretty damn good.

Apart from one of the worst bands in the world butchering a Beatles song, I thought the ceremony was pretty damn awesome!

I think you'll find that was Paul McCartney !

Cosimo · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:56

That was great, we've done ourselves proud!

I'm sure I saw his carer/helper asking him to give a wave but i don't think he could. Was a little heartbreaking to see

We kicked A$$, simple as.

As I retire to my bed, I can't help but feel incredibly proud to be British.

Thought it was great, it built well, but really, there was no need for even more David Beckham.
Has a non-olympian ever played so many roles in an Olympics before?
I truely do not understand the English fascination with that man, and why it is felt necessary to put him in the foreground of every scene.

Twas a good opening ceremony, hope he isn't there to ruin the actual events, or the closing of it.

Blah blah blah.

He will be at the closing considering his wife is headlining it....

That was pretty God damn awesome, **** you Beijing.

Radiation · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:58

Shame the doctor didn't appear.

Also they should have had more show with a quicker parade...

Spektor · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:58

God damn that was good... the whole starting sequence of the forging of the rings was just utterly breathtaking -- James Bond & the Queen was just epic
