Think that' s the point Jay - they have to age disgracefully.
Unfortunately I missed the closing ceremony -I like a bit of entertainment especially when it's OTT and open to criticism
George can get away with anything as far as I'm concerned -have always been a fan and he has a voice which is a gift of nature.
Just saw a bit of it in a re-run on Eurosport - I saw Annie Lennox when I got in for 2 mins last night - she's a great performer. Just seen "Take That" who I enjoyed -hats off to Gary Barlow for perfoming so soon after the death of his newborn child... they will never be as good without Robbie though -show man par excellence.
Could have managed without seeing Queen -not the same without Mercurial Freddie
The Who at the end were perfect and I thought they were a great choice - Roger Daltrey is in damn good nick and still hits the notes!
As a fan of fireworks - all that side of things was good and the Firebird dance with Darcy Bussell and the switching off of the flame was very arty and well done.
I wonder what will happen to the construction that made up the flame -presumably it will go on display somewhere...
