I loved the way that they lite the flame...each country having a "petal" of the flower that closed to become the pedestal...VERY creative. One of the best in recent memory.
DOTTY D. in England...you have made a wonderful statement! I'm proud of the UK and I'm an American...they pulled it off, even with all the other craziness in everyday life. Yes, the roads are narrow...that gives it the quaintness. I would love to be able to see your country someday....it has always been a dream.
