IT IS AN HONEST MISTAKE

David Cameron has said every effort will be made to ensure mistakes such as last night's Olympic flag mix-up never happen again. The Prime Minister said the error, in which the South Korean flag was wrongly shown instead of sworn enemy North Korea's at a football game, was "an honest mistake" for which an apology has been issued. The North Korean women's team staged a protest ahead of their match with Colombia after the South Korean flag was wrongly shown on a big screen at Glasgow's Hampden Park stadium. As a consequence, the players walked off the pitch and delayed the match by an hour.

The Great Britain women's football team kicked off the 2012 Olympics with a hard-fought victory over New Zealand at a sun-soaked Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
