I thought it was a great closing ceremony for a very well organised (and televised) "able bodied" event.

Just seems a shame that the Paralympics is seen as an after thought....it's even had to go to Channel 4!

It may all have been a bit over budget but if it helps to inspire a nation of otherwise inactive and unmotivated children (and maybe some adults!) then I reckon it was money well spent. Especially when you consider the variety of events - surely something for everybody (well, most).
