Oh, I know, it's sooo emotive. I feel very proud today, of everyone.

Thought C4 did a fab job of the Paralympic coverage.

Gutted for the people who are working and children at school who are missing this.

They should be playing the "flame" (you all know what I mean) music.

must be an amazing feeling on those floats. See, this is what we want. The athletes- not 3 hours of coldplay!

Just got back to work from the parade. my boss insisted we all went (she really wanted to go) so we had prime spots right opposite the start at mansion house. Saw all our gold medalists - loved Chris Hoy - he looked overwhelmed by the crowd.
