Boris loved the whole ceremony.
Quote:
Speaking at the Olympic Park, Mr Johnson said: "It wasn't global 'Brito-pap'. It wasn't just Big Ben and Beefeaters and red buses and stuff. It was actually the truth about this country in the last two or three hundred years told in a big, dynamic way.
"People say it was all leftie stuff. That is nonsense. I'm a Conservative and I had hot tears of patriotic pride from the beginning. I was blubbing like Andy Murray.
"I thought it was stupefying, one of the most amazing events I have ever seen.
"The big anxiety we had was, could we do something that would rival Beijing. I think we knocked the spots off it."
