Paralympics opening ceremony - Hot Tony alertt.

[SwedishEdith]

That's it. Plus it's not raining and is looking like it may be better than the other opening ceremony.

Odd piano bits though!

Do you think they've dried out all the pianos?

What does hot Tony mean?

I wonder where the ramp is for all those wheelchair users to get on and off stage?

I was thinking the same about the rain. Such a beautiful evening

Parisians really hate pianos, don't they?

It looks like a deleted scene from men in black.

Is the singer in red famous?

You’ll see lol

Bonsoir! It's Redcar. I wonder if they have ever been there.

One of our school dads is in the French paralympics team this year, which is rather exciting.

Redcar = ex Christine and the Queens

Hot Tony 😍

Thank you.
Sadly I'm still none the wiser, being enormously untrendy.

Yes, Christine and the Queens. I mean, not Lady Gaga level but she is famous.

It's all very French, which is weird as it was apparently designed by a Swedish dancer.

Ad breaks are a pain but this is already better than the one a few weeks back

It nice that they have great weather and I am finding it all well staged, just a bit baffling because I can't remember what they said the theme was!

Who are the commentators for this ceremony?

I like an ad break- time for a wee and a bag of crisps.

But yes, better than damp boats.
J'aime les Fleches Rouge. Or summat.

Great song and choreography when first heard of Christine and the Queens.

Having it all in one place is definitely better than watching people go up a river again and again and again.

It sounds like Krishnan is one (it is the C4 News slot).

The teams are coming out early

The internet tells me that the singer identifies as 'he' at present, but that this changes sometimes depending upon mood/circumstances.

I've read they don't really care what other people use either.
