Closing ceremony

[Dave the OAP]

That was one hell of a montage. If that didn't touch you, you're not human.

Agreed

Absolutely this x

 

[blue'n'white]

I think they're absolutely bloody awful

 

[Fran Hagarty]

Absolutely this x

Too right! Brilliant!

 

[Blackadder]

I believe the term is.......... "Marvellous Scenes!"

 

[Lady Gull]

The lighting at that place and those pixel things are awesome x

To be fair anyone with even a slight in taste in music knows they are annoyingly bland and only have the crowd in the palm of their hand because the music by numbers approach works on the masses who love their "pop Radio 2 friendly rock". (I use the term "rock" loosely in a semi ironic way). I absolutely hate them, I'm not alone thank god.

Just tired of all the tedious anti Coldplay shite I read on here all the time.

 

[Lady Gull]

I never thought we could put this sort of spectacle on as a Nation but I think you can safely say that Great Britain certainly delivered 110%

 

[Dave the OAP]

WOW. WHAT A FINALE


Something I will never see again in my country


Just magnificent

 

[Paskman]

Bloody brilliant end to a bloody brilliant summer of sport!

 

[Lady Gull]

Now we have to look forward to Friday night yayyyyy!!!!! Right I am going to make a brew xxx night all xx

 

[Dave the OAP]

Off to bed...nighty night

 

[Lady Gull]

night xxx

 

[The Fifth Column]

Makes you wonder what a great World cup we would have put on. f***ing FIFA missed a trick there, it would have been the biggest earning best attended and supported world cup ever and instead the gangsters and oil barons of Russia greased the right palms and won the honour.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Whether you like coldplay or not (and I'm lukewarm tbh) the closing ceremony shouldn't have only been about them

 

[Blackadder]

Got friends in East London, fireworks been going off for 5 mins!!! This ain't live!!

My son lives in Highbury and Islington. He confirmed that there was a five minute lag but who cares? Really enjoyed it tonight. If I had one complaint, I would have liked to see more of the athletes during the night.

Enjoyed it.

At least they weren't computer generated (See: Beijing Opening Ceremony).

This is about the athletes, and the tv cameras just cut to them and they are having a ball by the look of things and loving this.

Oscar Pistorius was querying the length of the Coldplay set, apparently.

Absolutely agree !

Personally I thought that was outstanding and I am not a huge Coldplay fan. The way the songs seemed to perfectly match the incredible achievements of all the Paralympians was incredibly clever. I have to say I am sad that these Games are over and hope, although I am not optimistic, that the good feelings will continue for a long time to come. What a summer.
