I'm crying and don't even know why!

I feel really emotional too. Maybe it’s all the positivity.

Thanks for making an effort with your costumes, Angola.

@TheDrsDocMartens

Supporting the refugee team too!

Absolutely but it makes me weep that such a thing has to exist.

I'm emotional. can't explain why

Only Angola got the special occasion memo.

Those cheerful volunteers on the side are cracking me up.

ooh of course there's the lighting of the flame at the end, how could I have almost forgotten???
can't wait to find out how they will do it.
stylish? classy? techy? extravagant?

I love the Kingdom Hearts music

Italians look like pizza boys🤣

I have been half watching this, but I really love Andrew Cotter. I could listen to him all day. (And I watch a lot of tennis, so usually do) .

Iranians look elegant

The Iranian men are SO TALL.

(And yes, to Olive and Mabel being the highlights of lockdown, very good doggos ).

ooh we have friends in Uganda! we are definitely going to be rooting for them too!

Uganda's outfits are gorgeous too.

I love the way so many of the athletes have their phones for selfies and videos. It really brings home what an exciting occasion it is for them too, not even trying to be cool about it.

purpledaisies Yes, it is amazing to see it finally happening. I thought it was flagbearers only until this morning so great to see more of the athletes.

Uzbekistan look like flight attendants!

Crickey not sure the Uzbekistani gymnast will be flattered by the 46 Yr old grandmother comment

Go Team GB!!

Is that a tiny woman or a huge man or both?
