Would be tricky certainly.

I guess they could use a hologram of the other two, or Julian Lennon could 'stand in' for his dad I suppose...

If you read the article they say that's a possibility. The sons standing in, not the holograms. Sounds a bit st really. Kinda like a Jackson 5 reunion, only they Prince Michael to stand in for his dad.

Jason Bonham did ok apparently.

Clapton instead of Harrison? Better guitarist and shared a wife?

[Zaxxon]

So, Paul McCartney and Ringo are going to commit suicide for the opening ceremony? That's jus wrong.

[Eric Mc]

Ringo and Paul have played together on a couple of occasions already so having them together again for a one-off wouldn't be that big a deal. I suppose they could get Julian Lennon to step in for his dad - he has a very similar vouice.

[StevieBee]

Could always get together with what's left of Oasis to get largely the same result.

[Mr_B]

Play together, just don't call it The Beatles.

[AndrewW-G]

Will Ringo be performing his best work . . . . . . . . Thomas the tank engine?

[HOGEPH]

Or combine with The Who....

Just when I thought it wasnt possible to hate the idea of us having the olympics any more than I already did..

I don't agree that Clapton is a better guitarist than George Harrison. George was more inventive and played exactly what the song needed, all Claptons best work was rehashing old blues numbers.

Probably one of Frankie Boyle's jokes, but:-

What do you need to stage a Beatles reunion?
