The one blot was the awful "empty seats".

There were lots of empty seats visible towards the end of the Closing
Ceremony. Was that people leaving to catch the last train home, or was
it like that all the way through?

For various reasons I wasn't able to see the end on TV but it would
indeed be very surprising if there were deliberate empty seats. If I'd
have been able to get a seat, thats assuming that they weren't out of
this world priced, I'd have gone and I'm not that interested in sport
but seeing it was for a lot a once in a lifetime event?..

Still London you did very well with it came to it in fact It seems that
we're having an end of party blues today and I'd never though I'd say
this but I reckon we'll miss it now its over!".

It's overall been very enjoyable....
