Once the flag bearers had arrived, and photos had been taken, they led everyone into the stadium ready for the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was full of enthusiasm, with some local school children attending, and South African music playing. The commitee and councillors were announced and the flags were all brought onstage.
We listened to talks from Kofi Annan, Muhammad Yunus, and Bob Geldof (when we could hear them over the noise of the vuvuzelas!) There was food and an after party once the ceremony had finished, and then the coaches started to arrive to take people back to their hotels.
