Don't be silly....... he's just waving........... and Nazi salutes are always done with the right arm........

The picture in the tweet was obviously accidentally reversed.

dean- you'll know this- why is everything being said in french before english?

Great show though

French and English are the official language of the Olympic movement. Things have to be said in three languages, English, French and the host language (though obviously the third language is skipped as English is spoken in Britain)

The Olympics were the idea of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (sp?) who spoke fluent Froggie....... because he was one.............

I have to admit to having shed a little tear at Abide With Me............ a truly moving moment (and judging by what I'm reading on Twitter, I wasn't the only one).

Wonderful, touching gestures everywhere.......... one of the flag bearers of the Olympic flag is the mother of Steven Lawrence.............

and tracksuits inspired by SIr Jimmy Saville- its beautiful- Go team GB!

loving the latest tweet by Stella MacCartney( if it could be said with a panic tone I think it would);


thanks for the support! To clarify, Stella designed the Team GB performance kit, podium suit & villagewear, not the Olympic ceremony suits.

It was fantastic. Real emotional stuff.

Bring on the road race......CAV

Danny Boyle - take a bow, son

nailed it didn't he ? understood what the people like and want instead of pandering to the establishment ( apart from Macca but I'll forgive them both that )

must have been just about right judging by the response from this nazi tory mp

Absolutely amazing. Classy, Spectacular, Showed Britain to be one of the top nations in the world and exactly the right choice for an Olympics at this difficult economic time. Well Done Mr Boyle and everyone else involved - You nailed it
