Olympics catch up 6: the closing ceremony

Another British extravaganza. Human cannonballs! high-wire artists!

A gigantic inflatable octopus! A security team with lightbulbs on their bowler hats!

You had to see it - it really defies description.

Boris Johnson looked as if he didn't want to hand over the flag to Rio, but eventually, the flame slowly died, and Darcy Bussell danced as a phoenix rising from the cauldron. Lovely.

Best Olympics ever!
