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.

Trump would confuse the OC with a rally and start rambling.

France tends to paddle its own canoe artistically to be fair.

Topseyt123 · 11/08/2024 23:13

Well, that closing ceremony was dull. It would have been more interesting watching paint dry.

Was hoping to see Christine and the queens. They'd have been good.

They are called Redcar now. Clearly never visited the place.

Willmafrockfit · 11/08/2024 23:13

hoepfully trump will not be president at that point

Do you know what the word known means @LaeralSilverhand ?

Oh God, why is it always Tom Cruise?

Swimming in the Seine was a mistake and the sailing was a farce with no wind. Brittany would have been so much better for sailing and there’s a lake in the Bois de Boulogne. Genuinely loved how the rest of it was staged. Now it’s the USA who apparently don’t watch athletics on the tv. So it’s coming first in LA. Then swimming and their favourite sports in week 2. It’s all about tv !

No doubt they’ll be calling on your organisational expertise for LA28. Better pack your suitcase.

Only someone with very little interest in music would say this.

Oh come on.

They could have done something pop in French. They didn't.

Why?

Willmafrockfit · 11/08/2024 23:15

because its going to LA next

Cos no one else has a weirdo cult to intimidate everyone, who supports them.

Off to bed with ye now

Mojodojocasahous · 11/08/2024 23:17

It is crackers to think that there are 12 year olds tucked up in bed now who will take part in the next olympics

No, that’s what usually happens!

DameBroad · 11/08/2024 23:17

I’m off to my bed to dream of blue people and make en new ricorrrds with Tony

Viviennemary · 11/08/2024 23:17

It has dragged on a bit so glad it's finished, But the athletes enjoyed it so that is something I suppose. I've not watched the closing ceremony. I got a glimpse of a couple of guys making speeches. Looked pretty boring.

So Billie was the most entertaining for the closing ceremony. She is so talented and my granddaughter was born with her voice in the background..relaxing and easy listening.

Most entertaining? Nah not at all RHCP, snoop and dr Dre all the way. Billie eilish is not the one! Sorry!

2028 may feature President Trump and family. 😐

Worse than that - Harry and Meghan live near LA. They won't miss out on that opportunity. ☹️

Aproductofmyera80s · 11/08/2024 23:17

Closing ceremony was soo boring… almost fell asleep about 4 times… ended up watching my shows on Netflix with it on in the background. Got interesting at the end when it moved over to LA. I’ll bet anything to tell you 2028 will be the best opening and closing ceremony ever.

blackcherryconserve · 11/08/2024 23:18

That's three hours and ten minutes I'm never going to get back!

Only someone with very little interest in music would say this.

The French obviously have their own popular music, but limited in terms of global popularity.

No city comes close to London in producing major artists. If anything the closing ceremony in 2012 was too cluttered as so many acts had been shoehorned in. 30 seconds of Queen, 30 seconds of Bowie, 30 seconds of Zeppelin...and so on.

SwedishEdith · 11/08/2024 23:18

Loved that My Way singer's voice. It was Claude François who wrote the tune. Not sure what the original lyrics were though so the English lyrics may have been more appropriate.

I've really enjoyed this games. Won't know what to do with myself for a bit now. Will definitely be retired by LA so can revert to teenage sleep patterns to watch it.

Bruisername · 11/08/2024 23:18

I hope LA have some humour

It not like France is known for its great modern music in fairness.

Its known for food and art. But not pop music.

What?! Have you listened to much?

IcedPurple · 11/08/2024 23:19

JewelleryCat · 11/08/2024 23:01

Won’t we see him in the Paralympic ceremony? I thought he was president of that too

I guess so.

But this was the big night with the flame and the flag and all that.

He must be feeling a little emotional and I'm here to help. Appelle moi Tony!
