    I believe Timothy Spall has played Churchill on stage recently - so he didn't need much practice.

    Yes, but "of Wales" is wrong. His brother is Prince of Wales.

    I'm really not getting this... it's just more of the same retro celebrity orientated navel gazing that we saw in the opening ceremony.

    The sound isnt too bad on BBC, although it is a bit off.
    RTE need to put away there phone and turn on the real recording equipment

    With this closing ceremony being meh so far, I dread to think what the opening ceremony would have been like without Danny Boyle at the helm.

    This is the embarrassing cringe-fest I had expected the opening ceremony to be.
    It's like a Paddy's Day parade that got stuck doing loops.

    I thought both were always Prince of Wales. Although William has been Duke of somewhere since getting married.

    The standard of singing has been terrible so far. Also, the choice of acts that have performed so far has been questionable.
