    Is Federer carrying the Swiss flag?

    Hope so. Could be awkward if he comes out with the Austria one.

    Loved the whole thing. It made proud to be Britain's neighbour/& former cousin. The history part managed to point out the best things about Britain without ever veering towards empire triumph. Th British really should be proud of this.
