I felt sorry for Prince Edward's daughter looking awkward as she was plunged into a walkabout. Never seen so many royals mingling with the Hoi polloi

Who was the chap sitting between David Jason and Will.I.Am? He looked familiar but we couldn't think of his name

I was one of the people in blue waving a placard. It was pretty fun- there were Percy pigs galore backstage, plus M&S brownie bars and millionaires shortbread. Tons of standing around though!

agirl I can see why you thought that - I was half thinking the same thing. But the t-shirts we all had to wear were really, really unflattering. They made even the thinnest people look a bit chubby. The dancers were all young and generally very slim.

I was referring,mainly to the 60's dancers. They were very good, but It didn't go with my idea of what the 60's were like.

But that's me nitpicking.

Everybody was fantastic. What an experience it must have been to have been a part of all that.

You mean you were just behind the bagpipers wincher ?

The commentators said the placards were representing peacock feathers. Is that right? (They looked like owls' eyes to me).

I didn't hear that about the peacock feathers, but I can see that, I guess. My arms are aching this morning from holding them up - they were heavy!

DD was one of the dancers and had an amazing time. Family got to see her quite clearly on TV at one point and she enjoyed every minute. I stood there in the rain to watch her - it was fantastic. It wasn't what I was expecting but I loved the animals on bikes!
