You weren't obviously watching close enough.

The BBC cameraman showed it for at least 5 seconds.

Watch it back on I player !

Iconic David Bowie gets 5 seconds, some rapper (American culture!!) gets 5 minutes.

Mr Bowie is indeed iconic, however, he is also not a 'yes man,' having turned down several honours, and, this being an event for the establishment, they wouldn't want to give any more time to anyone not their kind.

Dizzy Rascal is a local boy and has been really involved with the build up. I don't like rap but actually enjoyed it.

The whole thing was great :T. Really impressive - but also seemed small and intimate with so many different things going on. Loved Rowan Atkinson & Mr Bond . Cauldron is fab .

Arise Sir Danny :T.

Can't we merge a lot of those countries though...........

If they didn't want him involved, they wouldn't have asked him to do anything...

The instrumental music used throughout the 'Industrial Revolution' part of the opening ceremony - anyone know what it's called?

I think the hitler salute was with the right arm, so maybe he was just waving.

(I thought Danny Boyle was Frankie Boyle, and couldn't figure out how he was engaged to run the show!)

Was going to say Dizzee isnt rap but more grime (according to last nights commentary) but according to wikipedia his genre is grime, rap plus others, I think he did start the whole grime thing though.
