@goldiesayers
What an amazing closing ceremony. Speeches, Coldplay, Rihanna - the whole show was incredible. So lucky to witness it http://t.co/ywiGyOLl
@MayorofLondon
Tremendously proud and more than a bit sad - like the father of a bride - to give away that flag tonight. London, you put on a great show!
@DonnaPrice24
@JonniePeacock Your 100m final had viewing figures of 6.3million on C4, a Paralympic record audience- you made Britain proud #Paralympics
@RobPbs
#DwarfJavelin is my new favourite #Paralympics Event
@smallerworld
My word. Blind long jump. Amazing. The silence in the stadium during guided events is something you have to not hear to believe #paralympics
@MichaelBatwah

Mo Farah's lack of success at the Paralympics shows that he let his earlier medals go to his head and took his eye off the prize. #Refocus
@GordonFarquhar
Locog say they expect the 4 millionth visitor to Olympic park tomorrow afternoon. 166k through the scanners yesterday on park.

Great White Shark attack survivor wins Paralympic bronze... In the pool. #incredible http://t.co/Hya0lO78
@pgimmo
Is there not an argument for #Paralympics and #Olympics to be merged into one event with respective events running side-by-side?
@shcunliffe
The Paralympics have swiftly taught us to look beyond disability at achievement. And the achievements are heroic. #TheTimes #Paralympics
@PressAssoc2012
Ellie Simmonds has set up her bid for a second gold later today by smashing her own world record in the SM6 200m individual medley.

@pkelso
New experiences for Oscar Pistorius today: defeat, criticism, contrition. Seems we're all learning something from these Paralympics.
