    This is unbelievably good. Best ceremony of any sort i've seen. Boyle was an inspired choice

    Yeah, was surprised by that too.
    Was expecting to hear the strains of 'Don't look back in anger' or something ring out.
    It's strange they weren't included given how incredibly huge they were in the 90's and how associated they are with that era.
    Maybe the Gallaghers managed to piss-off Danny Boyle at some stage.

    Beckham for the next Bond!!!!:D

    The bit with boy and the girl was extremely cringe worthy. Didn't enjoy the whole technology bit though I get it with the whole culmination in Tim-Berners Lee.

    The house was cool, the firewords were definitely the highlight so far for me, the airborne picture of it was unreal.

    Is Beckham lighting the flame?

    I wonder if this pause is a way of getting around the IOCs refusal to mark 40 years since Munich?
