How do you feel about the empty seats at the Olympics?

Did you apply for tickets - if you missed out how did you feel when you turned the telly on over the weekend to see those empty seats at key events like the swimming and gymnastics?

A senior IOC spokesman says the empty seats are a small teething problem? Is he right? Who is to blame - LOCOG? What do you think should be done about the ticket problem?

Also, it was the biggest secret of the Olympic games opening ceremony - who would light the flame.

In the end the torch was escorted to the stadium in a speedboat by David Beckham where it was passed to Sir Steve Redgrave who ran with it into the venue.

However, in a dramatic twist, seven up-and-coming athletes were given the honour of officially lighting the cauldron.

The idea was seven previous British Olympic medal winners chose a possible future Olympian to light the cauldron.

We speak to 19 year-old Adelle Tracey, who is an 800-metre runner, and was nominated by Kent's golden girl Dame Kelly Holmes.

We hear your opinions and stories.
