Olympics closing ceremony LIVE!

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games officially drew to a finish tonight with what was an entertaining and star-studded closing ceremony.

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise had a thrilling role in proceedings as he abseiled off the roof to collect the Olympic flag for Los Angeles, host of the next summer Games in 2028. There were also a number of performances from top musical acts including the likes of Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dr Dre.

Alex Yee and Bryony Page acted as Team GB’s flagbearers for the event on Sunday night after winning thrilling gold medals in the men’s triathlon and women’s trampolining disciplines respectively. Follow all the latest news and updates from the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony live below!
