Flagbearers and Olympians flood the Stade de France for the games' closing ceremony in Paris with crowd taking part in karaoke singalong in front of athletes including controversial boxer Imane Khelif ahead of performances by Billie Eilish and Tom Cruise

Team GB gold medal superstars Alex Yee and Bryony Page wave the flag for Britain as the Paris Olympics closing ceremony gets underway. 

It kicked off with a rendition of Under The Paris Sky performed by French singer Zaho de Sagazan and an accompanying choir.

The group performed the song in the Tuileries Garden in Paris before French four-time gold medallist swimmer Leon Marchand appeared to carrying a small flame to the Stade de France.

As the orchestra gave a raising addition of ‘La Marseillaise’ French national anthem before flag bearers of each of the competing nations walked into the arena, as the crowd cheered.

Gold medallists Alex Yee and Bryony Page walked out as Great Britain’s flagbearers.

The smiling pair were seen in floral shirts and blue shorts, as Yee almost tripped while staring in awe around the stadium. 

Controversial gender-row boxer Imane was supposed to be the Algerian flag bearer. But she was absent from the ceremonial role at the Olympic Closing ceremony.
