The Japanese official in the stands is busting out the moves as his team enter the stadium. They're led by Yui Kamji, who is the wheelchair tennis doubles partner of Britain's Jordanne Whiley. 

They're aiming to add Paralympic gold to the Wimbledon title they won earlier this year.

Italy next, led by Martina Caironi. She'll be looking to defend her T42 100m title in these Games.

Need a reminder of what happened in 2012?

China dominated the medal table, winning 59 more golds than nearest rivals Russia.

Russia won't be at these Games, after the IPC's blanket ban of the country following the emergence of evidence of widespread doping.

So can Great Britain jump up a spot from last year's third place?

The first Mexican wave of the evening and it coincides with the arrival of Ireland. Their flagbearer is sailor John Twomey, who found out six weeks ago that he would be carrying the flag. "I was delighted, honoured, thrilled. It's lovely to be honoured by your own," he said.

The jigsaw, which each country is contributing a piece to, is starting to come together. I'm a huge fan of this DJ, who's got everyone dancing along as they make their way in.

And in case you missed it earlier, here's a look at the dancers and musicians that got us under way.

Not only is she competing in the Para-cycling and Para-athletics in Rio, but ParalympicsGB's Kadeena Cox can rap along to Fresh Prince like a pro. Don't believe me? 

Guatemala are out, led by blind runner Oscar Raxon Siquiej. It takes him four hours to get to the nearest athletic track to train for the Games.

Lee Pearson has an impressive Paralympic tally: 12 medals, including 10 golds, won at four games. That's decent going!

And here's Great Britain! Led by Lee Pearson, there's selfie sticks, flags and waving ahoy from the group.

Gabon start us off with the G's. Edmond Ngomni is only the second athlete to represent the country at the Paralympics. Ghana and Georgia are through next, and then it's Great Britain.

Skills from France's flagbearer, wheelchair tennis player Michael Jermiasz, who pulls off a few tricks as he makes his way into the stadium. There's a cracking atmosphere building now.

The biggest worry ahead of these Games was that the athletes would be performing in empty stadiums, but that shouldn't be the case.

Which is a massive improvement on thee weeks ago, when only 12% of the 2.5 million had been bought.

America now, led by cyclist Allison Jones. Somewhere in there is Tatyana McFadden, who was adopted at the age of six from a Russian orphanage after being born with spina bifida. 

She'll be going for seven gold medals on the track and the marathon in Rio. 

You can find out more about her and her excellent music taste below.

Here's Spain, with red bowler hats and matching trousers. They're having a whale of a time, waving to the crowd despite best attempts to usher them on. Meanwhile the flags that have come in are being waved in time to the music by some very co-ordinated folks.

Russia won't be at the Paralympics after a report found evidence of widespread doping across Russian sport.

Although they appeared at the Olympics, the International Paralympic Committee applied a blanket ban, which Russia unsuccesfully appealed.

They've opted to hold their own games, with the All-Russian Paralympic Contest kicking off in Moscow.

Into the E's and it's Ecuador, modelling some brilliant straw hats. Meanwhile the jigsaw is slowly building. I hope everyone's remembered their piece - nothing worse than when you think you've finished it and there's one bit missing!
