BBC Olympic closing ceremony viewers say 'now we are talking' after surprise appearance

Millions of people across the globe tuned in to watch the Paris Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday night. After more than two weeks of games, thousands of spectators and athletes poured into the Stade de France to close the games.

However, during the musical section of the ceremony, which was broadcast live on BBC One, many watching at home were left doing a double take after Kavinsky's Nightcall suddenly started playing. Kavinsky, is a French musician, producer, and DJ.

The song is considered by some film fans to be one of the standout tracks from the 2011 cult film Drive, which stars Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.

Great Britain ended the Paris Olympics with 65 medals – the same amount won at London 2012 and second-best ever tally on foreign soil. But Team GB won eight fewer gold medals than in Tokyo three years ago and were 13 down on the 27 collected at Rio 2016.

A final return of 14 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze saw Britain slip to seventh spot in the medal table, its lowest place since finishing 10th at Athens 2004.
