The work experience kid has done a decent job with the montage I guess.

scottishheather86 · 26/07/2024 21:25

@zzplex haha yes! So I remember, what the fuck! See, we forget the shit we've done!

JewelleryCat · 26/07/2024 21:25

The horse is still going

Boohbooh · 26/07/2024 21:25

Bored of the bloody horse now

Is the horse going to light the cauldron?

Also why are randoms carrying the country flags after the poor country flag bearers got relegated to waving on boats instead of leading their teams?

Edited

Cos the flag bearers are somewhere down the road trying to get on coaches whilst sodden from the rain.

Germany 1943

That horse could have swam the channel by now

Turkeyhen · 26/07/2024 21:26

This bit is epic, the horse is amazing and the montage was cool

JewelleryCat · 26/07/2024 21:26

Ooo, nice white horse now

TellyUsername · 26/07/2024 21:26

Ah Ezio is alive!

Roryno · 26/07/2024 21:26

We’ve just tuned in. Watched about 15 minutes (warhorse on speed). Has it been this strange all along?

MrsLeonFarrell · 26/07/2024 21:26

What is it with the faceless people?

starrypineapplerings · 26/07/2024 21:26

My bet - Celine Dion self immolates as the Olympic torch at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

She swan dives off it onto a door in the Seine.

StripedPiggy · 26/07/2024 21:26

Here’s Charlotte…

The horse has gone on and on and is now a proper horse with proper legs and everything
Just took a while

Quacking4it · 26/07/2024 21:26

It's the horse from the never ending story!

TellyUsername · 26/07/2024 21:26

I'm loving Ezio's parts

KrisKringle23 · 26/07/2024 21:26

DH just asked if the horse has gotten lost

viques · 26/07/2024 21:26

Lot of padding here……oh a real horse, but where is the flame, don’t say it dropped into the river!

BetterTheDevlinYouKnow · 26/07/2024 21:26

If only Eric Cantona had recited one of his poems....

CakeAtFour · 26/07/2024 21:26

Surely the world leader types have all had to take an ‘national emergency call’ and fucked off back to the Paris Ritz for a large Cognac?

I think people forget that the opening ceremony for 2012 was a bit dull, and would have been even more dull to those who weren't from the U.K. the closing ceremony though was another level!

We were in the US just after the Olympics and everywhere we went people wanted to talk about the Olympics and how fantastic they'd been, it seemed to unAmerican to be so positive about another country, they had loved the opening ceremony.
