To be feeling incredibly emotional about the end of the Olympics?

[Freddiebump]

I really thought it would bore me to tears, but I've been obsessed by it all and I'm really sad it's all over. Just been watching all the recap stuff and I've got a massive lump in my throat. It's been bloody brilliant!

Can't wait til the Paralympics start :)

Yanbu. Me too.

Me too. My eyes are very gritty - it's all been amazing and I've loved every minute.

OOh yes. Me too, we've got tickets to quite a few events, am so exicted.

Me too. Although I knew I would love it...

Can't wait for the Paralympics, but also for Bake-off on Tues...

YANBU, well if you are, so am I!!

Me too and I thought it was going to be rubbish!

I also can't wait for the Paralympics, especially because one of my students from a couple of years ago is competing! I am gutted it is on 4th September though so I will be back at school and can't go and see him :-(

Agree OP. I was a right moody cow cynic at the.start, and I've loved it. And it won't happen here again in our lifetime, will it?

What ^^ she said

And now Elbow is playing my favourite song

YANBU!

I moaned incessantly during the build up but I've loved every minute of it and am gutted it's over

I can't wait for the Paralympics, we've got tickets to quite a few events so very excited

Well, at least I'll have time to tidy my house now

And, I bloody love Elbow!

I can't believe how much I've enjoyed it, from the excitement of the road races coming through our town to going up to London today just to soak up the atmosphere. Everyone was relaxed and smiling, I wish we could keep this feeling going. London has done us proud

I think it's all been splendid and I wish small DCs had let me watch more of it.

Feel proud to be British ATM.

My regret is that I didn't try for any tickets. My mum was always really big into sport, and we'd planned that I would have time off work over the Olympics and we'd go to as many events as we could. Then Mum died 3 years ago, and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it at all without her, but I really, really wish I'd got to see some of it live, especially the equestrian bits.

I don't do sport, I don't watch sport, I know nothing about sport, I've no interest in sport.

I've bloody well loved watching some of the various sports shown in the Olympics

Loved it too, I took a weeks holiday just so I wouldnt miss any - thought that may have been silly but wished I'd booked two!

Watching the closing ceremony and may even not switch over to watch Strikeback Project Dawn at 10pm - decisions, decisions....

wobbling........

I don't do sport either, but its been absolutely amazing. I feel proud to be British today. So sad that its over.

I wonder why the only medal ceremony in the closing ceremony is the mens marathon? Surely the woman's marathon is every bit as arduous?

Yanbu - same here :)

(yes, I know the women's was earlier in the proceedings)

Jeezy it's an Olympic tradition.

I am going through tissues like nobody's business...the highlights, the memories, the music, general sadness that the most brilliant Games ever (IMO) are coming to an end never to be repeated and pride that London and Britain put on such an amazing event.

Yes, they said that fireandashes - but why?

This choir is proper getting to me! Tissues a-plenty!

I have been the first to complain about the cost, the disruption, the possibility of terrorist attacks, the recession etc, etc,
BUT, I've really really enjoyed everything I've watched! I've cried my eyes out at the equestrian events, which are my thing.
I was listening to one of the Olympic chaplains on radio 2 this morning, and was really moved by the thought of all the different religions and nationalities pulling together.
And what has moved me most was the sheer joy on the faces of all the competitors, as they filed into the stadium tonight. We did that. We united 204 ish countries, in harmony.
