Fortunately I only saw a few minutes of this pretentious, arty-farty nonsense in an advert break whilst watching the original movie version of M.A.S.H on More 4.

Hardly a 'ceremony', more some expensive, overblown and irrelevant pop concert.

Like everything else to do with this over-the-top sports day with its blatant commercialism, it was a ridiculous waste of money. 2 weeks of a few people running, jumping, splashing about and throwing things does not merit such a massively expensive festival of luvvy self-indulgence.
