To think the BBC coverage of the flotilla is total crap

[RabidAnchovy]

They really are making a pigs ear of it.

I want to see the boats (try and spot DPs dads boat)
not listen to all the crap from this presenter and that presenter and bloody poems,

IS THAT IT?

I hope the olympics is better than this

orchestra so much better than inane presenters
why not more of this during the afternoon?

hmm damp dog springs to mind

poor soggy choir, that girl looks pissed

It's Brassed Off finale - Land of Hope and Glory. All we need is Pete Postlethwaites speech on the miners strike.

Are booking taking bets on the weather for the Olympics opening ceremony

They are absolutely piss wet through. And crap!

bombombombombombom

singing there not a terrorist threat btw

i feel freezing cold just looking at those singers. Poor things will catch their death!

I actually feel sorry for them.

At least they had waterproof mascara.

Smile Queen and clap maybe

it must be almost impossible to sing properly in those conditions.
charles could have clapped them a bit more though.

Was there no thought / budget given to a canopy for the singers?

Omg the royal family bobbing up and down in time to the music is hilarious

royals bobbing!

Wow they are loving this one!!

This bit's sweet - they are enjoying the music, dancing around in a very relaxed way

Charlie is breaking into a jig. Brilliant.

Loving the royals bobbing

How much longer can the poor Queen stand!? They need to give her a chair, I'd struggle to stand for all those hours and I'm half her age!

I think they're relieved something is finally happening

this is hilarious in a really weird way!
