The 2012 London Olympics have ended with a closing ceremony featuring some of Britain's biggest musicians on a union jack stage.

Last night's 3 hour show - directed by Bournemouth-born Kim Gavin - saw performers from The Who and The Spice Girls to Jessie J and One Direction ... before the Olympic flag was officially handed over to the next host city, Rio in Brazil - and the flame extinguished.

Team GB finished the Games third in the medal table with our most succesful haul in over a hundred years - 65 medals including 29 golds.
