on BBC.
anyone watching it?

Watching and having a cry

🙄

My streaming is a bit behind, Cameroon are just coming on now! I agree their outfits are gorgeous.

Getting excited with the game music with my ds. Fantastic!

Like your hats Kyrgyzstan.

Oh, i do like the Kyrgyzstan suits and hats

That's a chic way to do a Hawaiian-style shirt, Guam.

Well done, Cook Islands. Loving your style.

It's only taken 60-something countries, but I've just noticed that the flags show up on the layer between the stands.

I've just looked up marching order.
there are 205 nations, Japan will be the last.
(Hungary is 144)

Kenya is 66....no wonder it will be another 2 hours

I love the bright colours of Kenya's outfits.

@pinkcircustop it’s the first time in history it’s not gone in our alphabetical order. Even when Japan had the Olympics previously they didn’t use their own alphabet but they have this year

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

really happy you are all here posting btw! thank you

do you have any countries you'll be supporting apart from or instead of GB?
I'm Hungarian so will definitely be cheering for them as well 🇭🇺

@MrsFin

🤣ok, go Wales!!!

Trying to explain why Russia isn't Russia to my children is tough.

It feels weird not having an audience, but I'm really enjoying this ceremony.

Love the Sierra Leone outfit

I think the sweetest thing is that despite not being able to see their faces you can still see the joy.
their eyes are smiling.
I just love that

If you wanted to explain it here afterwards...

Thank you

Im half Welsh half Cypriot, so UK and Cyprus

Golly that yellow is bright, Sweden.

I'm actually so bored watching this.
I'm enjoying the line of folk on their yellow and chequered clothes who are lines up and doing dance moves and clapping each country coming in. But that's it 🤷

We’ve turned it off , totally underwhelmed.

Here you go, Freezer ROC

I love Sweden .

It reminds me how long it has been since I went to Ikea. The week before the first lockdown last March!
