I am an american and let me say this, this is probably the most unique ans classiest lighting of the cauldron n the modern olympics. It did not need too much spendin like what they did in Beijing to be showy and classy. Hats off to London and all the British people for a job well done in hosting the olympic games.

Everything about the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron was perfect. From the guard of honour by the construction workers as Sir Steve Redgrave entered the Stadium, the selfless act of the British Olympic Heroes passing the torch over to the young generation and the the copper petals merging together into one flame of unity.

The music by Underworld is hauntingly beautiful, A true Goosebump moment, the passing of the flame from the Veteran Redgrave to the younger generation a brilliant idea, encapsulates everything that is good about the Olympic movement. The whole lighting of the cauldron, the Stadium lighting, the crowd is utterly beautiful. Have shed a tear watching this! Thank you London!!!

This is simply sensational, so moving. It makes me so very proud to be English and to be a Londoner. We have done a brilliant job in welcoming and hosting the world. Cheers to all those volunteers and staff who put so much into this event. WE TOTALLY SMASHED IT.

Hopefully in years to come this will be recognised as the greatest Olympic Opening Ceremony ever. I think a lot of people were a bit baffled by some it gthe first time they watched it but on second and subsequent viewing it really is a classic, particularly the Industrial Revolution sequence. Well done London. You put on a truly memorable Games. Over to you Rio. You've got a tough act to follow.

As an American I was upset when New York lost the bid to London, but not after that. That really was an incredible ceremony. Better even than Athens or Beijing, and I don't see how Rio will ever be able to top this. Good show, London.

This video makes me so proud of what we have done for the world in the UK these last two weeks. Seb Coe has put the Olympics back to where they should be. About youth, about sport, being olympians, competing and taking part and only an experienced olympian could have done that. We've done our typical British thing and toned down the over the top opening ceremony and taken the less is more approach and its paid off. Seb Coe deserves so much praise from the UK public and he must be praised.

This was absolutely incredible. Makes me very emotional to watch. It ws done so well and the music adds to the emotion. Makes me wish I'd have appreciated the Olympics more when it was actually on because now that it's over, I look back and realise how special it is

You can say what you want aboput the rest of the opening ceremony but his has got to be one of the best olympic cauldron lightings ever. The catch phrase of London 2012 is 'Inspire a generation' so to have old athletes handing over the torch to children still unknown for their extreme talent in their chosen sport is so clever and emotional. Thats what the games are about not celebrity status or patriotism but to promote dedication, positivity and global unison to the next generation.

It was literally just a play of any ‘virus’, because it was part of a hospital act. The corona part is fully in your head only. Get real. You see a vague resemblance of a needle and instantly say it’s the corona vaccine, you are creating links that don’t exist.
