Paralympics kicks off in Paris with special opening ceremony from Place de Concorde.
Transcript
00:00The Paralympics kicks off today in Paris, after an epic opening ceremony last night.
00:07Very much like the Olympic ceremony which was held on the River Seine,
00:11last night it was the Place de Concorde where the opening ceremony was held.
00:16So for the first time, both ceremonies haven't been held at the main stadium.
00:21People online, especially disability bloggers, have been saying how powerful and emotive last night's ceremony was.
00:29It was all about bodies and seeing so many different bodies moving in different ways and dancing together.
00:36They said that it was very, very emotional.
00:39We're likely to see 10 to 11 days of jam-packed action.
