I think most of it has been superb.
Pleased to see they honoured 7/7 victims.
 
I intended to be completely and utterly negative - but how can you be ...even when tehy bugger up history?
 
Arctic Monkeys? I thought a couple of feuding brothers had the bad Beatles tribute band concession...... Closely followed by the prince of smug - the entirely odious Sebastian Coe!

Lord Coe lit the cauldron?
Blimey, how nepotistic!
Cavendish for gold tomorrow. I'm in the smoke visiting my daughter so will go cheer on in Bushy park.....Go Cav Go!!!!
 
Sorry, noones lit it yet............ we had to suffer Coe spouting on a bit........
 
lighting the flame was brilliant, can't fault that!!
 
I agree, the cauldron was superb, and allowing the youngsters to fire it up! not worthy
 
So is the consensus that it was at least a half decent ceremony? I enjoyed it immensely. I feel more than a little pride. A stunning show.

Only dampened a little by reading parts of this thread.
 
Mind you I thought the metal kettles looked a bit like bed-pans...Eridhalfbee - The cauldron was lit by up and coming young athletes sponsored by known names, Kelly Holmes, Daly Thompson, Steve Redgrave etc...
