    That's later. Headed up by The Proclaimers.

    It's a veritable who's who of Bonnie Scotland this. Krankies next.

    Still waiting on Rab C. Nesbitt too.

    They're overrunning massively. Still got to hear Queen's message and is there a torch thingy to light up. Can't remember for this one!

    More interested in the torch to be honest!

    And Rab C Nesbitt to wrap things up by lighting his farts in lieu of a fireworks display.

    The BBC are using their own feed as was seen before the ceremony started and that they have different commentators than the official feed.

    They could have just cut back to the studio. They tend to do that a lot in their live sport coverage, especially athletics.

    and cut out a section raising money for children? There would be uproar with MPs storming Broadcasting House not to mention a media storm!
