Anna Meares has addressed the media after being named Australia's Glasgow Commonwealth Games flag bearer, with the honour clearly not lost on the cyclist as she became very emotional while speaking of her pride in representing her country.

Details of the ceremony are being closely guarded, but singer Susan Boyle has already been announced as a star of the event, while veteran rock icon Rod Stewart will perform in a homecoming of sorts.
Boyle has sold 19 million albums since her breakthrough performance on a television talent show in 2009, when she left judges speechless with a rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream' from the musical Les Miserables.

Stewart, who was brought up in London but has a Scottish father, is an avid Celtic supporter and is a regular visitor to the historic 60,000 capacity stadium.
Other confirmed performers include indie singer Amy Macdonald and classical violinist Nicola Benedetti.
Australia will be led out by cycling legend Anna Meares, who was in tears after being revealed as her nation's flag-bearer earlier this week.
The victims of the MH17 plane disaster will be honoured at the ceremony, with many of the passengers from Commonwealth countries, including 44 Malaysians, 28 Australians, 10 Britons and others from New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Hong Kong.
The Australian team held a minute's silence at its official reception in Glasgow on Monday and Games organisers said they will pay tribute at the opening ceremony.
