London Olympics 2012 Closing Ceremony Full Video Replay
The London Olympics 2012 Closing Ceremony kicked off with a typically British mass singalong to bring the curtain down on an Olympic Games that have retained the feelgood factor throughout.
The show in the Olympic Stadium, entitled "A Symphony of British Music", is a celebration of Britain's pop prowess, featuring some of the kingdom's best-known acts like the Spice Girls, Muse and George Michael.
The pumped-up 80,000-strong crowd wasted no time getting into the party atmosphere, sending Mexican waves around the bowl as they eagerly waited in anticipation for the show to start.
In a hardly-kept closing ceremony secret, the Spice Girls played not one, but two songs from their whirlwind two-album career in the late '90s and early '00s.
Annie Lennox gave the 80,000-strong crowd a bit of "Little Bird" after riding in aboard a death galleon.
As is now custom, the final medal of the Olympics was awarded during the closing ceremony, with men's marathon winner Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda picking up the gold medal he secured earlier in the day.
