      Have to say this was unbelievable so far. The industrial revolution start with Kenneth Branagh and all those chimneys and workers was one of the best things I have ever seen and definitely tops anything else I've seen in opening ceremonies. And then the Mike Oldfield and the NHS part was so brilliant.

      Too right Ms G - proud to be British.

      The NHS bit was sh*t, no privitisation, no cuts, no Foundation status, no bullying.

      Great work from Danny Boyle and the thousands of volunteers that made it happen.

      Looking forward to the climax now!

      I have to say I was impressed with the opening ceremony. Danny Boyle didn't let us down. I thought the industrial revolution part was very well done.

      Can't wait for the sport to start tomorrow.

      My money is on Sir Steve Redgrave to light the flame.

      If I am perfectly honest, I have no massive interest in the Olympics. However, found that ceremony fascinating. Despite that, stayed up to see Suarez. I was led to believe he was carrying the flag for Uruguay but he wasn't and we didn't even get seeing him. :(

      Read a rumour about it but didn't expect it to happen with his current health problems.

      I honestly thought it might be Daley, but made up for Redgrave!

      Absolutely fantastic stuff to watch, have to admit.

      But am I a horrible person for wondering how many starving people in the world could have been fed with the billions spent on the olympics?
