Yes a single headphone/earphone. The commentry was done by a single person whereas before there were 2 people, male and female doing it at the opening cermony. The audio description described exactly what was going on, on stage, the mime so to speak of the story, each of the 4 seasons stages. Similar to the opening cermony where the music was very loud, I could still strain to hear the commentry but there were times in the stadium when there was only the visual mime and no music and in that case the commentry was excellent. It lasted throughout the cermony. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yusuf" <yusufaosman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

So, did you get headphones? How was the audio description. If you listen to last week's in touch it was pretty clearly stated that none of the sports were going to be audio described, but given an enhanced commentary, whatever that means. I just assumed that applied to the closing ceremony as well.Yusuf On 10/09/2012 22:50, Eleanor Burke wrote:I was there and it was.

I thought that Locog had said that none of the Paralympics events were going to be audio described. Yusuf On 10/09/2012 21:20, Eleanor Burke wrote:Dreadful!
