Anyone watching the Commonwealth Games opening?

The poor Queen looks like she’d rather be anywhere else 🤣

It's looking a bit low budget so far 😬

Fair enough, it is low budget.
I like all the greenery - an interesting idea.

Grand to see The Falklands represented.

I’ve just said that. Hilariously they keep cutting to her.

The Q was having quite a lively discussion with the K a few moments ago. I wonder what inspired that.

I missed the beginning: I recorded it so will watch it later. Did the Royals arrive by Tardis?

Yes, with Sir Chris Hoy and Gary Tank Commander

What channels are you all watching on? I can only find Alba but don’t have any Gaelic

Channel 5.

TNT Sports 2 has a good picture plus Emma Dodds is hosting the main show

HBO Max but is on C5 too

Dominica have bought their best dresses.

I like Dominica’s frocks.

Great minds, @RafaistheKingofClay 😉

Ah, OH asked me who the other guy was and I didn't know! He also thinks QC looks bored but I can't find my glasses so can't tell...

Great dresses @BrownHaired

I like the individual decorated baton thing.

The Fiji flag bearer is wearing a very interesting top. It’s made from something very stiff.

I know they are not, but I keep thinking the Royals are sitting on white plastic garden chairs.

One thing I’d like to have seen in the display on the back, next to the country’s name, is a world map with the location of the country marked on it.

The more they cut to the queen the funnier I am finding it.

They really do look like plastic garden chairs.

The background music was SO loud and repetitive I turned it off after 20 mins!

Camilla finally applauding, for England.

The England team are remarkably cheerful.
