The closing ceremony for the Olympics will put “great British popular music” centre stage in a show called A Symphony Of British Music, the event’s artistic director has revealed.

Choreographer and creative director Kim Gavin, the man behind Take That’s successful comeback shows, promised an extravaganza involving “our most globally successful musicians” and future musical talent.

“Music has been Britain’s strongest cultural export of the last 50 years and we intend to produce an Olympic closing ceremony that will be a unique promotion of great British popular music,” he said.
