The sun does shine in Manchester and to prove it the Games got off
to a sweltering start over the weekend, with thousands of people
turning out to enjoy the excitement.
We took a camera
out and about to soak up some of the atmosphere. If you've got any
great photos of the Games, send them to us at manchester.online
@bbc.co.uk and we might put them on the site. Or you can give
us your views of the Games so far in our Talkback
Section.
