The Baku 2015 European Games Closing Ceremony was acclaimed by audiences across the world tonight as the James Hadley-directed show captured Azerbaijan’s rich tapestry of different colours, peoples, traditions and influences amidst a blaze of 10,000 pyrotechnics.
More than 68,000 people inside the Baku Olympic Stadium revelled in a show that also featured a cutting-edge soundtrack and spectacular dance routines, as the Games bade farewell to its thousands of athletes.
The spectacular show also paid tribute to the `Flamekeeper` volunteers whose energy, enthusiasm and dedication contributed to the success of Baku 2015.
International music acts led by DJ Gareth Emery, Clean Bandit and John Newman - who called his set the biggest moment of his career - entertained the watching world, which included a 10,000-strong crowd on the shores of the Caspian Sea in Baku’s famous Bulvar who were illuminated by fireworks at the end of the show.
