I thought the 'floatilla' was a tad disappointing

4.5 hours of BBC coverage. Surely the most boring telly ever.

I'm still struggling with which bit was the dullest.

Tess Daly's utterly vapid piece from Battersea Park or pretty much anything that involved Fearne Cotton.

I quite liked Huw Edwards' crestfallen 'The rain did have an effect' line at the end though.

He was only a couple of pints away from saying 'What a load of old bollocks that was'.

I think had the sun been shining it would have been an amazing spectacle...but then again Peckham looks great when the sun's out.

I thought Sky's coverage was a lot better.

I was there - and the best part of the Flotilla was the man powered section - hundreds of oar powered vessels crowding the river and squeezing through Tower Bridge in a messy and unchoreographed sequence made an great impression - I did see some of the TV highlights and TV somehow diminished the whole event - the boats appeared too small and the river too large. However, close up it worked. The various musical elements also added much - the final finale after the singing "Hope and Glory" with the London Symphony playing a Hornpipe ever faster was just great.
