Olympics Closing Ceremony

[birdsoeking]

Let’s hope it’s better than the opening ceremony!

Starts at 7 pm on BBC 1.

Alex Yee will be carrying the GB flag.

It very much looks like they are coming out in alphabetical order? Are they? Phew this is gonna take a while.
I hope Andrew and Hazel have got a monster book of Olympic facts to keep us entertained!

Please can we have a hologram of Kenneth Williams singing ‘Ma Crepe Suzette’?

Tony is married have googled.

Only just realised the Marchand bit would have been filmed a while ago. 😂

I see the Algerian cheat is here.

Only if we can have the Constable from Allo Allo (who reminds me of Fred Siriex for some reason) saying "Good Moaning" to everyone

There's the Algerian guy

Did you see the illegal punch they did?

Swedish commentators repeated that “this is first olympics with 50/50 men and women a while ago” 🤬

Have I missed GB?

Khelif looking very pleased with himself there

I was going to say 'Des Chiffres et des Lettres' but someone beat me to it! Fond memories of lying on our hotel bed in Paris with DH watching it - highlight of our holidays for him! <sad>

Wallowing in it.

It would be a shame if someone nicked his medal.

I like seeing the athletes with their phones -and it's nothing new. Years ago, before camera phone, there would be athletes taking pictures with cameras as they went around. Must be a great moment to capture.

And , as the commentators have said often- they couldn't do any of this in Tokyo, due to Covid restrictions. So the mingling is great.

I assumed it was live @SwedishEdith but pre-filmed makes more sense!

Some of the outfits are so lovely and speak to their country. And then you have the tracksuits, Hawaiian shirts and Canada

Maybe he's hitching a ride with the Horseman...

Lol

Nigeria look fabulous!

Yes. I saw his punch. Grrr!

He's got more front than Brighton Pavillion to be waving his medal in front of the camera like that.

Love Nigeria's outfits.

I thought so too! They look glorious!

Ireland ❤️

Yay Ireland!

Are the Dutch naturally just beautiful? Or just their athletes?

It looks like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" now.
All sing the notes now....Do do do do DOOO.
