  2. Raging bulls and a Nobel laureate - Commonwealth Games open in style

    Birmingham opened its Commonwealth Games in spectacular style with a captivating ceremony brimming with hope at Alexander Stadium.

    Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai delivered a powerful speech emphasising the importance of education in a surprise appearance while diver Tom Daley made a show of support for LGBTQ+ rights as the baton relay concluded.

    But the biggest shock of the evening perhaps came when a 10m tall animatronic bull came steaming into the stadium as part of a ceremony that celebrated the multiculturalism of both Birmingham and the Commonwealth.

    Well there is a Bullring in Brum you know..

    Anyway as the parade of athletes concluded each of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales were warmly received before host nation England rocked up to in a massive cloud of confetti as the volume ramped up with a crowd rendition of We Will Rock You.

    Just in case you missed it all here are the best bits.
