the closing ceremony looks as thought its going to be as good as the opening ceremony!i think the whole thing has been a 100% success !!!!

I completely agree .... wonderful and well done to the UK for such a wonderful show and Olympics ....

Not that impressed to be honest. I don't want to miss the fireworks, so I guess I'll have to sit through it.

Not as good as the opener. The BBC spoiled it for me with a drivelling commentary by Colin Jackson & some other twit who talked over the music & waffled on about irrelevant nonsense.

At least we were spared another embarrassing appearance by Macca !

Quite agree!

Spice Girls or Macca , not much to chose between them , but at least Macca was honest enough to sing without " electronic assistance
Best performers, Jessie J and Roger Daltry.
Best dancer " BORRIS"
Did feel sorry for the athletes corralled in their various sections, the organisers must have been taking tips from the Met on how to deal with crowds.

Nothing at all Rich ..........I've already moved on to life without the games !!!!!!

Just the here and now for you then widge - back to football

I stayed up to watch it and thought it was boring, a bit of a nothing and could have been wrapped up within an hour. it was 2 hours too long, padded out by celebs , some of whom were miming!!!!!

Just watched the last bit and the fireworks were good if only the cameras had concentrated on them rather than another athlete kissing their medal!

no wonder theres a doom&gloom outlook in the air with all the negativity posts on here about the olympics why on earth people cant try to be positive in the fact that we put on a fantastic olympics that everybody has praised. i would like to hazzard a guess that the afore said people were just waiting for it all to go wrong then they would have had a field day7would be shouting it from the rooftops how bad the games were&how we messed it up
