00:36No, I can't see anyone.
00:38So...
00:38So how are we going to get Their Majesties from Balmoral

00:43Unless...
00:43Hold on, hold on.
00:44Chris, have you got your tandem?
00:46Come on.
00:53It's the real one.

01:01I'm doing the buttons.
01:04He's doing the buttons.
01:17I'm sure I parked here.
01:21Look, check the map again.
01:23Okay.
01:24Okay.
01:25So...
01:28Sorry, mate.
01:29Do you know the way to Balmoral?
01:33Where actually are we?
01:35Lognath.
01:36Right.
01:37I'm driving.
01:39Next stop, Balmoral.
01:42Incredible!
01:42I know.
01:46Chris...
01:46Chris Hoy?
01:57Sorry, this isn't Balmoral, is it?
02:01I thought you said you could drive?
02:08Sorry, I couldn't have...
02:11Thanks.
02:19Oops!
02:21Wrong castle!
02:22Definitely not it.
02:25Nope.
02:32Finally!
02:33Balmoral!
02:34We're here!
02:36Okay.
02:37Right.
02:37You stay here.
02:38I'll go and get the majesty's.
02:39Listen, I haven't met them before, so maybe I should go.
02:42Okay?
02:43I am.
02:44I actually made his friends with the king.
02:48Such a show off!
02:51Hello, your majesties.
02:52Your carriage awaits.
02:55Right.
02:56Next stop, Glasgow!
03:15Second stop...
03:15What?
03:28Well, boom that's so bad.
03:31Well, what?
03:31You can see you all the last memory, hey.
03:31Right.
03:37Good day.
03:40We're happy about穩 Golden Hammer.
03:41Yeah!
10:22Carrying the flag, wheelchair basketball player Kathleen Dandenau, known as Katie.
10:52Adeja Hodge and Jalil Crow lead out a British Virgin Islands team which is competing solely in athletics and their
10:59nation has won the last two men's 400 metres titles at the Games.
11:03The name of the British Overseas Territory is inspired by the followers of St Ursula, a 4th century Catholic martyr.
11:13Cayman Islands.
11:2022 athletes from the Cayman Islands competing in three sports, 3x3 basketball, gymnastics and swimming.
11:29Gymnast Siena Santiago is the baton bearer.
11:32It's the first time for basketball in the Cayman Islands.
11:36Swimmer Connor MacDonald is carrying the flag for the Cayman Islands.
12:06Dominica.
12:09The mountainous Caribbean island of Dominica, whose flag is carried by the one and only Thea LaFont.
12:17Bronze at Gold Coast 2018, silver at Birmingham 2022, and then the Olympic title in Paris.
12:23Last year she won the World Championship, so it's clear that she's here for gold.
12:27Swimmer Jasmine Schofield has handed over the baton.
12:33I think they might be the happiest team.
12:39Grenada made their debut at the Games in 1970, 12th at time.
12:45That's a bit of an 18-year-old swimmer, Tilly Collymore.
12:48She trains and lives in England and made her Olympic debut in Paris at just 16.
12:54Another of their Olympic swimmers, Zachary Gresham, carries the flag for Grenada.
13:04Jamaica!
13:06The hosts of the Kingston 1966 Games, Jamaica.
13:10In Birmingham, they won six gold medals in athletics, and their next gold medal will be the Caribbean nation's 60th.
13:17The flag is carried by swimmer Colin McKenzie, who's coming to the end of his university studies in the USA.
13:23And the baton by netball player Shamira Sterling, who's been on the podium in the last two editions of the
13:28Games.
13:29So, Gabriella Wood, who's a student at the University of Stirling, carrying the flag is boxer Nigel Paul.
13:55The Turks and Caicos Islands.
13:58The Turks and Caicos Islands comprise around 50,000 people living in the Atlantic.
14:03Sprinter Lorano Misik carries the flag, which in Birmingham was held by swimmer Alea Hall.
14:09Today, she's carrying the baton.
14:12The word Caicos comes from the ancient Lukean language of the Caribbean and means string of islands.
14:18And the Turks Islands are named after a common variety of characters that resembles the famous Ottoman Empire Fez hat.
14:25And they may be contending for vibrancy of outfits tonight.
14:33And now, we move on to our next region, which is Oceania.
14:43Introducing the nations and territories of Oceania.
15:04A big Glasgow welcome for Australia, one of the most successful nations of the Commonwealth Games.
15:11263 athletes are here and competing at all events.
15:14The baton carried by multiple Paralympic medallists, including two gold medals from power swimmer Timothy Hodges.
15:24And his gymnastics team is full of Commonwealth medalists, like Georgia Godwin.
15:29And six gold medalists are back for the cycling and five gold medals winners on the track as well.
15:36Australia top ranked in the netball too.
15:38Carrying the flag, Olympic and Commonwealth gold medal pole vaulter Mina Kennedy.
15:47That netball is going to be some competition.
15:55They're not too bad at sports, are they, the Australian team?
15:59One of the top contenders at every edition of the Commonwealth Games.
16:15What a lovely atmosphere here in the Hydra.
16:19All the athletes, when they come off the stage, when they're positioning around this wonderful structure to watch the opening
16:30ceremony continue.
16:34Some of them can't be here, can they, because they've got a competition that's already started or is starting early
16:39tomorrow.
16:40One or two of the flag bearers and batter bearers have changed according to when their competition starts.
16:49I'm sure they'll be watching their rooms.
16:53There was a little note up there that said, love you, mum.
16:57Athletics with another Olympian.
16:59High jumper, Elena Kulichenko.
17:01England!
17:01She's also carrying the flag.
17:06One of only six teams to compete at every edition of the Commonwealth Games.
17:10England has won nearly two and a half thousand medals, 773 of which have been at gold.
17:17Birmingham hosted the previous games in spectacular fashion and has now passed the baton to Glasgow.
17:23Flag bearer Sheehan Honour was born in the lovely south-east seaside town of Whitstable
17:27and has won two gold and two bronze medals in bowls at the Games.
17:32Handing over the baton was swimmer Luke Greenbanker, two-time Olympic medalist from Crewe in the north-west.
17:39He too won gold in Birmingham.
17:41And the last time the Games were in Glasgow, 12 years ago, it was actually the best ever for Team
17:46England with 58 gold medals.
17:51It may not have escaped your attention.
17:53There's occasionally a playful sporting rivalry, Alison, between England and Scotland, would you say?
17:58Just slightly, a little bit?
17:59I think that's fair to say.
18:01That's fair to say.
18:03But these are the friendly games.
18:05Friendly rivalries.
18:07A lot of them do compete for Team GB together.
18:11Friends and rivals.
18:13Friends and rivals.
18:14Friends and rivals.
18:14Friends and rivals.
18:22Friends and rivals.

21:23who might that be
21:24who might that be
21:25who might that be
21:51And now, let's welcome our host nation, Scotland.
22:00And here comes the host nation.
22:03Everyone's standing up.
22:06It's Scotland.
22:08Sarah Adlington, the first athlete ever to win two Commonwealth gold medals in judo,
22:13will hand over the final battle.
22:49You're 176 strong, full of newcomers and world champions, Olympic and Commonwealth medalists.
22:56And very, very, very recently, a new world record holder in the form of Josh Kern, who broke the mile
23:03world record on Saturday.
23:13Saturday.
23:15Six para-disciplines have been incorporated alongside the program of ten sports.
23:20And para-paralifter Hope Gordon from Sutherland in the north of Scotland is set to make history
23:26as the first athlete to compete at the Summer Winter Paralympics and the Commonwealth Games
23:32across three different sports.
23:36Absolutely incredible. What a moment for this Scotland team.
23:41And they deserve this moment, every bit of this moment.
23:44As we see the setting of the Commonwealth Garden, it reminds us that people and places can reinvent themselves
23:53and so can the Commonwealth Games and indeed the Commonwealth of Nations itself.
23:58And you know what? Glasgow stepped forward. Glasgow gave the Games a home.
24:04And that is typical of Scotland and typical of this great city.
24:12So much hard work has come to this point.
24:17Not least for the 3,000 volunteers as well.
24:24And this is a moment they will always remember, these athletes.
24:28Especially at their home games.
24:35All around us in the hypo, the volunteers are taking selfies.
24:39There are people cheering, wanting to remember this moment forever.
24:46And that's the right sort of music to be playing right now.
24:51Just on a sterling job. The bagpiper from Baltos.
25:03The Scotland team will take their seats.
25:08170-odd of them, so...
25:14Shuffled into their positions to enjoy the rest of the opening ceremony.
25:22Mums and dads in the audience and friends and family.
25:28Very much part of the support network of all the athletes here.
25:40And what an energetic and unforgettable performance from Baltos as well.
25:46All the nations and territories assembled here in Glasgow.
25:50It's a tick.
25:51But Glasgow is a city that has never simply let time pass.
25:56Glasgow has innovated.
25:59Glasgow has led the way.
26:02Glasgow has been at the forefront of global progress.
26:07Put simply, Glasgow is the workshop of the world.
26:20The music you can hear echoes the walking or weaving song sung in Gaelic
26:25while the early textile workers of Glasgow were finishing tweed cloth in the 1700s.
26:30This is a glimpse of pre-industrial Scotland.
26:33The music you can hear вал.
26:36The music you can hear the ears.
26:37They have the yards.
26:44The music you can hear.
26:48The music you can hear.
26:50The music you can hear is a lot better.
26:56There is a lot better.
27:02So, thank you, Bangladesh.
27:03The music you can hear is...
27:08And now things have changed, from fabric to steam, to locomotion, to shipbuilding.
27:22The great modes of transport constructed in Glasgow, a Glasgow that helped people travel
27:28the world.
27:30In 1812, the Comet, Europe's first commercially successful steamship, was launched from this
27:36very city on the river Clyde.
28:00While there isn't as much shipbuilding in Glasgow as there once was, new industries have come
28:07to the foreground, sustainable energies such as wind turbines, hydrogen storage and subterranean
28:14heat pumps.
28:37And now things have changed.
28:41And now things have changed.
28:42And now things have changed.
29:06When you think of Glasgow, you think of science, of medicine.
29:09Statues of the greats are dotted throughout the city.
29:12Joseph Lister, who introduced antiseptic surgery.
29:16Sir William McEwan, the pioneer of brain tumour removal.
29:19John McCloud, who transformed life with diabetes through his insulin research.
29:24June Almeida, who identified the first human coronavirus.
29:28Ian Donald, the trailblazer of medical ultrasound.
29:30Professor Delphine Parrott, groundbreaking immunologist.
29:50And from the Gallic singing weavers to the sound of mechanised production.
29:56Industrial Glasgow.
29:57The likes of James Templeton and co, one of the world's leading carpet manufacturers
30:02in the Victorian era and beyond.
30:06But the noise of the machines never drowned out the voices of the people.
30:21Today, an ancient language that many feared would be lost was reborn.
30:24Scottish Gaelic now with over 130,000 speakers.
30:29A language of history, of poetry, of folklore.
30:32A language of Scotland for Scotland.
30:35Glasgow is alive in the people.
30:51This is the protocol part of the ceremony, which begins with the entry of the Commonwealth flag
30:57and then the raising of the flag.
30:59We'll then hear the oaths of three athletes, followed by the official speeches.
31:08The title of the
31:08The映画 of a A-S-O-R-E-O-W-E-R-O-W-E-E-R-E-O-W
31:16-E-R-O-W-E-R-O-W-E-R-O-W.
31:31Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
31:45Oh, no, oh, oh, oh.
31:58Oh, can you hear your heart?
32:49Oh, can you hear your heart?
33:17Oh, can you hear your heart?
33:22Oh, can you hear your heart?
33:30Oh, can you hear your heart?
33:59Oh, can you hear your heart?
34:05Oh, can you hear your heart?
34:11Oh, can you hear your heart?
34:26Oh, can you hear your heart?
34:56Oh, can you hear your heart?
35:09Oh, can you hear your heart?
35:42Oh, can you hear your heart?
35:44Oh, can you hear your heart?
36:36Oh, can you hear your heart?
36:39Oh, can you hear your heart?
36:48hearts and open minds and open arms. I extend my warmest gratitude to the city of Glasgow,
37:00to all the athletes, to the organisers, volunteers and all those who have made this event possible.
37:09As we share our love of sport and our planet, let us build a harmonious and durable future
37:20for our families and each other. It is now my great pleasure to declare the 23rd Commonwealth Games open.
37:39And so it begins. A week and a half of competition covering over 200 events in 10 sports and the
37:47athletes are waiting to get started.
