The Queen!

Please try and convince me I'm wrong
Surely I'm alone in stating that the Queen looked bored and uninterested last night at the Olympic Opening Ceremony
Please tell me I'm wrong!!
Even declaring the games open, she appeared like she found it all a bit of a chore!
Its a bit much when, as our Monarch, she cant smile and look a lot more interested.

You are correct, I thought the same thing.
She was too busy inspecting her fingernails at one point to even be looking.

Also the opening statement was rubbish, why wouldn't you leave the word "open" until last for some dramatic effect?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking this! I've yet to see the queen smile! She just seems so emotionless all the time!

At 86 she is allowed an occasional gaff. Maybe she was a bit tired after the parachute jump.

hahaha i spotted that too, bit unfortunate that they caught it on camera too!, And as regards to the Queen, at 86 I think we can all agree it was more than likely well past here bed time, parachute jump or not...... either that or she only turned up to see Becks in a Tux!!

Yes, but just think how many times she has had to smile, wave and shake hands all through her time on the throne, I think her Majesty did a great job.
