Clare Balding introduces live coverage as the 22nd Commonwealth Games is officially opened at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium
ahead of 11 days of top-class sporting competition. The creative team behind the ceremony includes Peaky Blinders' writer and
creator Steven Knight, and it is expected to showcase West Midlands talent and diversity.
At the heart of the ceremony is the traditional Parade of Nations, where all the participating athletes walk behind the flags of
their countries in a celebration of sporting unity.
The ceremony culminates with the Competitors' Oath and the finale to the Queen's Baton Relay, which has travelled 90,000 miles around
every nation and territory in the Commonwealth
USER GUIDE REVIEWS
Balding Oh no, not her, and not BBC coverage, which is dire. Too much talking and not enough action.
Should be on Sky Sports. BBC have proven they can't cope with big sport events..
Not forgetting the interminable repeats...
Rolling wall to wall talking shop with snippets of minority sport thrown in sometimes.
