I disagree - it was politicised claptrap. What happened to her was truly dreadful,and she has fought courageously, but she is not the only person to have a son/loved one murdered. Had her son been white and murdered in London would we even know who she was?
As for Hey Jude?
Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
Utterly awful.
A very good ceremony though, ruined by the BBC cutting away from the fireworks finale to show us clips of Olympians. Surely they could have done this at another time?
