Closing ceremony

Didn't they do well.

Bored already!
That singer of Sous Le Ciel de Paris was underwhelming and dead frumpy.

We’ve been watching since seven. Boring. Even the Marseillaise was lack lustre.

I've just put it on hoping to catch the more interesting bits.

Wasn’t it just!
I think Rosie might get a walk after all - this is boring with our commentating team desperately trying to pad it out!

I think it's for all those who took part rather than for the audience. Whether they won a medal or not, they've earned their moment haven't they.

Well done to everyone, whatever their role or achievement 👏

Roll on the 28th.

OMG what's with the music, it's awful.

I was talking to my son this afternoon who has just come back from Paris, and he told me how he was sat next to one of the athletes fathers. He was telling my son the work and sacrifice, the pressure both physical and mental - and they are very young.

Well done all of them

OH is watching it with headphones on. I did my ironing and now I’m about to read the paper.

It looks like they’re making it up as they go along.

Good old Freddie.

Yes that was a brief improvement but it seems to have gone down hill again.

Good old Freddie.

It's what you need, isn't it?
Universally loved and 100% appropriate. That's what you need for a karaoke!

The Marathon medal ceremony made for a nice highlight- as did a bit of Freddie.

Two hours of nothing.

Oooh looks as if something exciting might be coming.

Yep, after seeing the excitement on the remaining athletes faces and thinking what a great expereince it must have been, we have something almost as tedious as the opening ceremony but without the rain...

I have decided that with the French, it is all about posing in elaborate costumes with little action.

It’s the same as the opening ceremony.

With all that smoke, how can the audience see what's going on?

Well done for all the medals won by the Great Britain team 🇬🇧

Good to see The Wicker Man resurrected.

Couldn't we have the handover ceremony then one big party?

It's all very um, er, atmospheric?
Apart from That Carpet.

The Antiques Road Show was interesting.
