The closing ceremony turned out to be a bit of a Coldplay concert - bit crap if your not a Coldplay fan!!

Visuals and participants (except chris Martin & his cronies) were amazing though Torch

I loved 'THe Last Leg' too, MrsV.
Very cheery end to the evenings. I like a bit of irreverance.

caramelwaffle · 09/09/2012 22:52

Puppypanic · 09/09/2012 22:52

Excellent fireworks.

AFAIK Puppy, Parade is on BBC1 from 1:30pm till about 5 ?

I ain't movin' me ass off the sofa for that.

I shall sob, shamelessly. And be PROUD.

I'm thinking of going down for it but I would have to take 9 month old DD too. Too much for her do you reckon?

Those fireworks on the Thames near the London eye went off about 15 minutes ago for the Thames Fesival cos I heard them! Still saves some money to use the footage for the closing ceremony!!!

caramelwaffle · 09/09/2012 22:53

Fuck I'm so glad someone has said there were fireworks!

I thought there was a long and mental thunderstorm in the distance (am taping the ceremony) but then I thought maybe it was that! Blush
