I was one of many Scottish schoolkids who performed in the opening ceremony in Edinburgh. The programme was broadcast live to 600 million homes.

  • Congrats to whoever posted this video. I was wearing a red tracksuit running thro Holyrood Park to Meadowbank Stadium & was one of the kids in the big bird, also. It was one of the most amazing times of my life. Awesome!

  • Love it! I still remember all the words, and especially the end: "Clap clap arm arm walk 2 3 hey!"

  • I remember we didn't know what was going on when this song was playing we ran in to stadium at the end of the song. I had a blue track suit that had those stupid capes at the back!

  • F*&K we thought we thought we were getting trendy Nike trackies and we got........jammies! Great memories...all that time off we got to rehearse ;)

    It was standing in fields near Prestonpans for months if I remember correctly.

  • I never got a flag :(

    I ran from st margarets loch to the stadium and was gutted that I didnt get to run with a dog hahaha. I remember everyone fancied Gerry with that toy in his shirt pocket hahaha. Go team B hahaha.
