It's ongoing in Tokyo since midday.
Kellie Harrington and Brendan Irvine have just led the Irish team into the Tokyo Olympic Stadium in the last half hour.
The two boxers were given the honour of carrying the Irish flag.
Athletes from around the world are still entering the empty arena where the Olympic flame will be lit to officially start the Tokyo Olympics.
Earlier, Sanita Puspure advanced to the quarter-finals of the women's single sculls rowing.
