Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Games official calls Camilla Princess Diana

Seems the Commonwealth Games has descended into farce, with the lack of preparation, empty stadia and now major gaffes by the organisers.

Yesterday, I was trying to explain to a Brazilian friend of mine what exactly the Commonwealth Games are about, i.e. a get together of the members of the former British Empire who still want to be associated with us. The reaction I got was a mixture of amazement and laughter that such a thing is going on in 2010.........

......and do you know what? I have to agree!
