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.

The French anthem is the best anthem. No contest. The blood of the filthy aristos running in the furrows, fuck yeah

Andrew Cotter is a real highlight for me 😂

Best scene ever.

Apparently a lot of the actors were refugees from Europe, and the passion was genuine. Everyone on set was taken aback by how emotional they were.

Isn't Countdown French?

Fit Tony was the best bit of the OC

It gets the blood stirring doesn't it!

Flegs. Jolly good.

He's so great. I always enjoy his commentary.

Trip hazards galore

I'm loving Andrew, suggesting a cone because they keep tripping on the carpet!

Some of the outfits are….brave

we have a version, don't know if it was originally FR or not tho

Holy fuckin moly!

C'est vrai!

And right on cue Alex Yee trips on the carpet 😂

What is Alex and Briony wearing? Are they Team GB shirts?

Lol. The lady in the green looked stunned!

Aww look at Bryony and Alex! So happy they were chosen! What an honour for them! Listened (and watched Alex) to both of their medals live!

I would have heard this from my old house!

I think they borrowed them off Matthew Pinsent

Someone's going to break their neck.

My OH reckons the hawaiian shirt our chaps were wearing are from Aldi. Is this true?

Tony Estanguet - Head of the French Olympic Committee

Lovely shirts on Alex and Bryony.

I'm hoping to see Lisa Carrington and Finn Butcher for NZ.

I watched Alex live and it was an incredible race it really didn't look like he was going to medal at one point. Where he got the win from only he can say!

We have a household phrase now.."Be More Alex Yee". His race finish was so amazing.

I wonder why some countries have one flag bearer and some have two
