The Paris 2024 Olympic Games will come to an end on Sunday evening with a grand closing ceremony.
It will take place in the Stade de France from 8pm BST and promises “a moment of tolerance, sharing and communion”.
The show will be a star-studded occasion as US musicians Billie Eilish, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg are due to perform as Paris passes the Olympic torch to 2028 hosts Los Angeles.
The opening ceremony saw Lady Gaga sing in French and the return of Celine Dion to the performing stage amid her battle with stiff person syndrome (SPS).
Paris will now turn its focus to the Paralympics, which will start later this month.
