    lol....Tubular bells is one of me ol Favs...not sure about your choice tbe..lol, but. Arctic monkeys... was a strange choice.

    The ceremony looked more like a closing ceremony... still not bad though and a good idea with all the music.

    They should have had Bowie singing Heroes Live instead of in the backround when the GB team came on.

    The best part for me....with all the inclusive stuff....was the rings over the stadium!! 

    inspiring!! 

    One of the most mundane part of the games made to look quite good... well some of it! 

    :p

    they had one of the best bands playing at hyde park....

    i'd have swapped the arctic flunkies to hyde park and put Duran Duran on centre stage.

    these guys still know how to entertain.

    biggest failure of the night the arctic flunkies.

    apart from that it was good.
