nope...really weird...nothin on Dr. Who at all!

The biggest cheers from the crowd was when they played some Queen and when the crowd sang "I'm forever blowing bubbles". LOL!

Loved Beckam on the boat with the torch.

Dang, Dr Who is as iconic as the Beatles, Stones, Mr Bean, etc.

Looking forward to seeing Sir Paul.

I enjoy seeing the uniforms / costumes of the athletes marching into the stadium. Just wish it didn't take so long.

Does anybody know what the girls with the gloves are carrying??? Matt just said they were some kind of petals or pedals, but i still don't have a clue.

 

[chateaurew]

I'm talking about the girls walking to our left of the flag. They have on white gloves, and are carrying something shaped lke a squished fat cornucopia. It is bronze looking. The person to our right of the flag has the name of the country.
