Managed to see a blue plane with sparklers (like it was on fire) going over the stadium earlier. It looked spectacular!

Here's the vid I took on my mobile:

Yupo, starting on channel 4 at 8 and the actual ceremony starts at 8:30 with a flyby which I think what I recorded was part of it.

It's rubbish. Both the ceremony and Channel 4s coverage.

I have to agree. The show prior to the athletics procession was rather short but I'm guessing there will be some other things happening (though not with a big stage perhaps)

I lost interest when they showed the athletes, but witched the recording of the second part and it was good.
The adverts jsut killed the atmosphere though.

Also it seems they did not show the blue plane at the start of the show but saw it on the news and it looked as impressive as when I saw it during a practice run a few nights ago.
