Last night the 2012 Olympics came to a grand end with the official closing ceremony. A scale model of London took centre stage and was wrapped entirely in newspaper. Damien Hirst interpreted the Union Flag by using members of the crowd, and black London cabs performed a taxi ballet.

Performers included the likes of the Pet Shop Boys, Fatboy Slim, George Michael, Jessie J, Annie Lennox, Muse, and Kaiser Chiefs. Even deceased legends John Lennon and Freddy Mercury made an appearance!

Some other amazing moments included the stadium being turned into huge catwalk with appearances from supermodels Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. And, of course, the Spice Girls rocked up.

At the end of the ceremony the Olympic flag was handed over to 2016 hosts, Rio de Janeiro.
