1. Les has his say
Les Jones, 68, of Cleadon Park, South Shields, said: "Before the start I was not looking forward to it, but it has won me over. "I’ve really enjoyed the cycling and the running. "Jessica Ennis was great and Joanna Rowsell, the cycling gold medallist with alopecia, was a real inspiration." | sg
2. Tony was a fan
Retired van driver Tony Hawksworth, 70, from Hebburn, said: "It’s lived up to the expectations. "The opening ceremony was great, but a bit long - I go to bed at 11 and it was on until midnight. "Team GB has won more medals than in Beijing. They’ve done the country proud." | sg
3. Maggie watched the rowing
Maggie Mitchell, 68, from Jarrow, said: "I really enjoyed the two rowing girls (Sophie Hosking and Katherine Copeland) who won gold for Britain. "Their looks of disbelief and then joy when they crossed the line was brilliant. "Unlike a lot of sportsmen and women, you could see victory meant much more to them than money." | sg
4. Dennis loved the pomp
Dennis Handy, 80, of Cleadon, South Shields, said: "I’ve watched quite a bit, but not for four hours at a time. "I’m too busy for that. I love all the pomp and circumstance - it’s brought back a real feelgood factor." | sg
