Getting wet on a river, Olympic Opening Ceremony thread deux

[Theremedy]

Will it get awesome?

Who is roof guy?

Will the cauldron be in the Eiffel Tower?

I'm still holding out for a member of daft punk on the horse.

Looks like a woman on the horse.

Yes

Best post of the night!

I normally watch and get emotional when the flame goes out. But the prospect of hours of a French Closing Ceremony will give me cheese nightmares for two weeks.

Here you go.

Where's the bloody flame???

Think it’s a woman from the peak up the hood

For sure a woman!

I think they thought "that horse has cost us a fair few quid so we need to keep it on as long as possible".

The pace is wrong, it's all so sloooowww

Love the flag arriving on horseback. Goosebumps

Nearly wetting myself

Walk in time for goodness sake!

Towels for wet performers is a nice touch

nowt swift about this

Did the 50k walk start today?

After hours riding that bloody puppet river horse she’s got to climb all those steps and walk a mile as well? She must be knackered.

But where’s the torch?

'Why the long face?'

Is she supposed to be Joan of Arc?

Why do none of them have faces????? I’m worried she’s going to trip over the flag.

Lady Ezio is as slow as the horse
