So what did you think, was the Olympic Closing Ceremony a hit in your household? I thought it was great! Again, just like the opening ceremony - Beijing put on an amazing show.

The 'Tower of Memories' was fantastic, the strengh and athleticism of those men that ran up and down it was unbelievable and the hundreds of people that performed with them was amazing too.

The arrival of the London bus was pretty good too. David Beckham was looking good, but Leona Lewis, well I could hardly understand what she was saying. I think London has big shoes to fill, but they will do it - and with style too, undoubtedly!

I think all the athletes would have ben blown away by such a good performance, especially those who hadn't been able to attend the opening ceremony. I'm sure the partying went on late into the night and to the early hours of the morning!

Well done to all the athletes, especailly those from WA.

I thought it was good, but I think they should have shown us more of the athletes having a good time. I wasn't really phased by the singing at the end... I didn;t even know what they were going on about. But it was a good closing ceremony though.

I didn't like all the singing at the end. Some major miming going on yeah?

The marathon award cereomny was moving i think. I can't run for half an hour let alone 2 hours in that Beijing heat. Well done to all the athletes.

The closing ceremony was fantastic! These olympics have been the best ever, and the most enjoyable.

Well done China and Beijing.

I thought it was fanastic too! Especially David Beckham.... mmm!

I also loved seeing all the athletes swapping stuff and interacting - Lauren Jackson went and stood with that Chinese basketballer and she looked so little! It made me laugh.

I can't wait to see all the WA athletes when they come back - does anyone know when they are marching in the city, like they did last time?

I didn't watch.
I was hooked on Australian Idol auditions. How sad is that!
