Sorry for the late entry...we are just recovering from last night!
The Opening Ceremony was amazing!
There is so much I could say about it, I am not sure how to highlight the most important points in order to give you a "feel" of how it was.
1) Incredibly emotional: We shed many tears when the Australian Team entered the stadium, also when we stood to sing "God save the Queen, then listening to Stephen Hawkings inspirational words, and again when Bridie and her teammates in the parade. Finally, we were really tipped over the edge when they played the David Bowie track " we can be heroes" after all the 4,000 odd Paralympic athletes had entered the stadium.
2) Amazing special effects: It was incredibly polished and visually fantastic, which included a paralympian flying over the stadium in a plane as part of the show. The visuals, including fireworks, acrobatics, light show, were amazing.
We returned home late at 2 am, so are now organizing our day ahead..
The Gliders play Brazil at 6-30pm London time.....we are soooo excited!
Will pop on a few more photos from last night.....you will see some are taken in daylight, as we arrived at the venue nice and early ( gets dark at 8pm here)
