Olympics Closing Ceremony

The Rio display knocked spots off the London bus 'extravaganza' at the end of the Beijing games.

She's going to be in a minute.

Saving the best until the last?

Missed the Elgar, will have to watch the recording

And - I can understand that it might be too much for the Queen, but surely Charles should have been there?

I do hope so. Darcy and Elgar. Get your hankie's out!

Perhaps the Queen, Phillip, Charles and Will have all gone down with a tummy bug.

I heard that William had gone back to work! Doesn't Harry do any work?

That's it - Take That...I'm off to bed!

NO, THERE ARE NOT 200 BALLERINAS IN THE ROYAL BALLET! AND OME OF THEM ARE MEN!

Are you still watching Alison here's Darcy!!

Yay!

Ah! you are here! Indeed 200 would be a huge corps de ballet! Silly commentator!

Sorry but DB still doesn't do it for me and I thought the choreography of the pas de cinq was dreadful. I would be very surprised to hear that those guys were from the RB but maybe they were and it was just terrible choreography. The BBC should not comment if they don't know what they are talking about.

Just when you think it's almost all over, why do they have to drag on the Who?

& now the Who..good grief! My Generation..literally!

Not that I have anything against the Who.

Glad I didn't miss Darcy.
Well, I didn't expect that! The Who - in person(s).
Bravo to all the participants: athletes, volunteers, performers, organisers....etc.

I really don't think that dance number was meant for ballet connoisseurs, Alison. Enough that it was part of the spectacle and you must admit that her entrance was spectacular!

Looks like the athletes and audience are having a great time so that is all that matters. Bet I'll hear about nothing else for days when DH comes home tomorrow. You won't seem me on GN after about 6 pm from now on as I usually switch off in the evening and spend the time with himself.

Yes, you are right Annobel and I'm jetlagged and not used to being on my own at night or awake at this time so sorry if I am a bit grumpy about my 'specialist subject'

Fantastic show - everyone should be congratulated

I'm off to bed now to sleep for a very long time. Good night all.

It wasn't particularly my scene but it was still nevertheless impressive and it certainly pleased most of the people there.

Ah well, back to TV reality. (As opposed to reality TV, you understand!)

I liked the idea of 60 years of Brit pop music, but it got a bit boring in parts.

Liked John Lennon being featured, how could he not be? But surprised no Elton or Robbie W.

Did you notice Seb Coe say "Your Majesty" in his opening speech? She wasn't there! And he called Harry, Prince Henry. I wondered for a minute who they'd fished up now.
