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.

Nice weather they’re having <phew>

Paris is so pretty. Love this.

That was lovely.

Marchand!

This is how I want the games remembered, a beautiful late summer evening, beautiful city beautiful music. Let them have the closing ceremony the games deserves.

Still think the Hindenberg tribute is brave.

Why does Marchand have an earpiece?

Love that Marchand has a starring role.

To give him instructions

Why is Marchand dressed for a funeral?

Probably so they can choreograph him

I wonder how many times he practised this?

He looks like a 6th former going to prom love him

"Left, right, left, right. Put out your hand and pick up the small flame holder. Show it to the giant flame holder. Now show it to everyone else."

Because he is mourning.the end of the games?

I hope he’s not walking all the way to the Stade de france

That is a long walk!!

He needs that horse.

Possibly, Gojira played during the opening ceremony.

It just looks so empty.

Beautiful, but empty.

Wonder why it's a miner's lamp? Have I missed something?

"that was the last we ever saw of Leon marchand" perfect 😂

I liked the two people hiding behind a bush!

Don't worry, he'll pass it to France's oldest citizen first.

Jaysus. The French love a long, drawn-out and lingering shot. Let's get on with the party!
