I have just watched the replay on BBC1 and it's the fence out of the woodland . . . impossible to see from the camera angle whether Lordships Graffalo's head and neck were on the right side of that flag

I’ve watched and rewatched (they’ve just showed it on aunty beeb and I could rewind Willy nilly)
I think Walter’s hoof took the flag. That said I think his shoulders would’ve been on the correct side of the flag.

You will need to be a member of twitter eventing on FB to see this, but if you scroll down through the comments on this post, someone has posted a head on video which seems to show his head and shoulders went through the flags correctly - I am no eventing expert though!

That's pretty conclusive - if it's the fence in question. Still crossing everything.

I watched 2 hours behind so stayed off phone to avoid spoilers. Really enjoyed it, an interesting course in a stunning setting.

I can’t see how they can even remotely say she’s not inside the flag from that photo. To be honest I couldn’t imagine Ros not knowing anyway. She’s so accurate.
Hoping London52 is sound after that fabulous round without a show. And for a bit of glue on the showjumping cups tomorrow!
It’s a shame it can’t be a permanent event. It’s been lovely so far.

Seems the coach of the Samoan boxing team has had a heart attack and died in the Olympic village.
Poor chap.

Looks like the flag is in the wrong place and just stuck in the ground compared to the red one

They would absolutely do the same in our shoes. Why would we give 15 penalty points and a four fence lead away?!

Maybe someone could point out that Nicolas should be carded for the state of his horse at the end of the course ...
