You can say what you like but Britain produces the best State ceremonies bar none and now this has to be among the most stunning openening ceremonies ever.

The ceremony has upset Tory MP Aidan 'my friends think Nazi uniforms are cool and when I go to Auschwitz on my atoning PR trip I'll spend the time texting them' Burley; he thinks it's too socialist. 😆

Had the Commentary turned off, what was the significance of the Emily Sanday bit.

I liked it, just wondered if it had any meaning that I had missed.

I've watched many opening ceremonies, mostly for shits & giggles as the commentators have no idea what to say & they're batshit bonkers...

This one is different, it makes sense, it tells stories & makes me glad to be British....(makes me wonder if other ceremonies have this effect on their local population?!)

Well done Danny Boyle, you took on a job where you were always on a hiding to nothing, & you sir have come up trumps.

Flag bearers are struggling in the still air this evening. Best struggle so far was the Belgian.
