Beautiful! Those lucky enough to be at the Olympic Park, or the near vicinity, describe the sights and post pictures.

Lucky enough to be in the Olympic stadium. Just seen Red Arrows fly overhead. Feeling like I've just become 40 years younger—

This guy tries to make the best out of being unable to see the awesome formation.

I'm guessing two of the Red Arrows had lights off in tribute to their two lost crew members last year. If so, lovely thought—
