Darren O'Neill, the boxer is carrying our flag. Anyone feel boxing has had enough exposure? I agree, Robert Heffernan or Annalise Murphy would've been good choices.

Another guy i would like to have seen bear the flag is Kieran Behan whose tale of triumph over adversity is quite simply amazing

At what stage does the naked brazilian woman turn up to ignite the bush torch?

AllWasWell

when are the athletes coming out?

Jesus Shaves

I'm disappointed chariots of fire hasn't been played yet:pac:

She only sang a bit of it earlier.

My name is URL

Meh.. that's me done. I really enjoyed the Olympics but this is just pure muck, imo. Not even worth watching to criticise later

Mysteriouschic

I was hoping Professor Green would come on an sing or rap with her.

hmmm

Who's yer one anyway? I presume they stick her on as filler when they need someone who can sing to try and make us forget what just happened.

patmac

Ray Davis a great advert for why men should not dye there hair. Orange ffs.

Pensivepuca

Athletes anywhere? Hot brazilian chicks? Where are they?

JONJO THE MISER

Townshend has a load of One Direction pictures on his laptop for "research".

Rascasse

Meanwhile in Hyde Park there is an Olympic concert for the proles featuring Blur, New Order and The Specials. The BBC should be showing that on BBC 3 so we can flick over during the ****e bits.

J. Marston

Pictures of people crying and a slow song playing.

Oh, I'm so sad.

Namlub

That Korean fencer

Guy:Incognito

They should make them carry those jug yokes that made up the torch back out with them as soon as they turn out the flame. You'd see some new world records then.

kwestfan08

Women in skin tight suits with the flag bearers, because you know thats the embodiment of the olympic sprit?

Mint Sauce

Here come the Athletes, through the crowds.

ballsymchugh

Colmustard

Awwwwwhhhhh another tuneless old singer,

I reckon they will be digging up Freddie for a tuneless

dxhound2005

People were saying the opening ceremony was crap at the start as well. This will probably turn out OK too.

Mysteriouschic

I didn't see the Irish flag did anyone else?

Frankie Boyle‏@frankieboyle

I think every **** in Britain might be in that stadium #London2012

markie29

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

I didn't get it quite right: "Prince of Wales" is a title traditionally given to the heir apparent after an investiture ceremony. The current official Prince of Wales is Prince Charles; neither William nor Henry have been formally invested with the title, but they have it by default because it's their father's title.

Dukedoms are something else entirely: William was named Duke of Cambridge to mark his wedding, and so that's now his own title and he doesn't need to fall back on his dad's "Wales" title. Harry will get his own title someday, and then he'll stop using "Wales", just like his uncles the Duke of York (Prince Andrew) and the Earl of Wessex (Prince Edward) did.

Mint Sauce

Hazels getting the name of songs wrong again.

JONJO THE MISER

Id say them German young wans are mad for the ride.

bhamsteve

Started badly, not too bad now. I'm liking Elbow

Ella

Love this song
