Here's a chance to look back at the Games of the 29th Olympiad, re-living some of the golden memories from the sporting festival, as well as the sights and sounds in the Chinese capital following 16 days of competition.
The highlights include Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson (pictured), who took gold in the yngling sailing class. In all, Team GB won 47 medals (19 gold, 13 silver and 15 bronze), coming fourth overall. It was the country's best achievement at the Olympics since 1908.
I thought he commentary for the opening ceremony was appaling. It was like being at a wonderful opera sat next to 3 idiots talking over the beautiful music. Subtitles would have been vastly superior.
The highlight program, my fist attempt to see the ceremony only provided minimal coverage. I believe Sir Redgrave got more time. The recording of the full ceremony, which repeat was very welcome was so marred by the commentators. Their commentary was laughable at times. 'It's worth mentioning'
