The hard work is beginning to get to me; it was the Illuminated Boat Parade last night, so we weren't in bed until midnight. It hadn't been dark enough until half ten, and the parade went very slowly as a result of them working up Dallow Lane Lock on their way.
There was the usual range of effort, from basic to spectacular. It's a shame it's really not possible to do justice to them in photos, so I'm not going to try. You had to be there.
Earlier in the day, we'd had the Opening Ceremony go off OK, although tere was some confusion about timings.
I'll let the pictures tell the story, too tired for too much creativity!
