Last night's Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in Glasgow was a glorious rousing spectacle of Scottish sight and sound. A terrific riot of musical colour and visual flourishes. A 300-tonne high-definition digital screen is not a piece of technology to be toyed with, after all!

I have to say that the opening ceremony made me horribly envious – both of John Barrowman's ability to mimic the perfect Clydeside brogue, and of the fact that Wales has yet to host the Games in the modern era. We have Tom and Shirley, for goodness' sake! Combine those star turns with a bit of Bryn and Bonnie (we're all on first name terms here) and what a night that would be! Somewhat unfortunately, however, the opening ceremony took a slightly sour turn on social media when, on introducing Team Wales to Celtic Park, BBC Sport commentator Hazel Irvine erroneously dropped the 'P-bomb'! For clarification's sake, a BBC spokeswoman said: "It was a genuine error and no offence was intended." Let's just reiterate in case Twitter wasn’t clear enough last night – Wales is strictly not a "principality".
