Really enjoyed the first hour
Was expecting the 007/Queen parachute stunt to continue until they landed and then went up towards the royal box where a switch would occur
Next two hours of the parade were dull and was really tempted to switch off/over to stave nodding off
Final half hour was okay - and loved the cauldron - although I guess that will have to be moved before the field events get underway :heat:
Only disappointments were when Ali's carer tried but failed to talk him into doing anything (and it being easy to see what she was saying/shouting at him - and then saying something to the controller about him not doing it), and seeing the empty seats (guesstimate about 20%) despite the commentators saying there was a full capacity 80,000 crowd :thumbsdown:

Had an awesome evening watching it. Thought it was great
The Nazi salute is actually a Roman salute that was taken on board by Hitler - and ALWAYS uses the right arm.ranski said:
If you actually watched the un-trimmed footage you will see he simply continues the 'salute' into a waving motion.
Even if the footage was untrimmed, as he uses his left arm, it's not actually a Nazi/Roman salute at all - but why bother letting that get in the way of a Mirror story
What a great show. I'm one very proud Pom. Well done London!
