Good luck to team GB and all the athletes at the Paralympics.

They are a true inspiration.

I'm confused... don't have a TV and trying to watch the opening ceremony here http://paralympics.channel4.com/video/index.html
and at the moment this a focus on an athlete... wasn't it supposed to all start at 8pm?

Thanks Tilly.

Yeah, much better than the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

My twin 10-year old cousins are there watching. The little girl told me she was going and was concerned about the time it started 'it's at dinner time, what am I going to eat?!!!' :mrgreen:

yep its amaziiing. I am glad I am seeing one at home actually.

I do like the way this one is embracing science/future, as opposed to the historical/arty one of the Olympics. Very clever move to dissociate it from all the British colonial history/Royals fiasco, and pointing forward to the future, that already puts it one up on the previous Opening ceremony, so full marks and well done the girl/guy who thought of that.

I dig.
