Shame on the organisers for allowing the Royal Family to blight today's proceedings.

There's a long 'roll out' with Leeds being such a big city.........the flag won't drop until Harewood House which will be around mid-day

Don't think there were ever interested. Used to be on C4/C5 but have kept the main commentators.

I prefer the ES commentators (although don't know who it is yet !)......

I don't like Phil and Paul, I think they're very wooden and stilted.......they always sound as though they're reading from a book !

I hope it isn't Carlton on ES !......
