I adored it, it really showcased Paris and the horse on the Seine was magical. I wish I could see the flame in real life it just looks amazing.

The only bit I wasn’t keen on was the motorboat back up the Seine with the flame - thought Serena Williams was going to be sick!

I would love to read some background on the women who were featured as statues emerging from the Seine.

Also shout out to Keir Stammer stoically sitting in his blue anorak - best photo of the night!

This is a really good analysis. I absolutely loved it too, but didn't care for the Philippe Katerine tableau that much. Not that I took offense whatsoever, I just felt it didn't really work that well. And wouldn't you know it that THAT piece would be the one to cause so much uproar.
