:00:47. > :00:57.15-year-old visually impaired skier Millie Knight to carry the flag and
:00:58. > :01:07.lead Team GB. Walking out her it was the best moment in my life. How

:02:06. > :02:10.in Horwich - this is what a few of the children thought. I think we
:02:11. > :02:17.played better when they are not shouting. It is hard to think. It
:02:18. > :02:26.was better because we did not have everybody shouting. How does it make
:02:27. > :02:34.you feel when they shout? If they showed good things we feel
