As they did with the opening ceremony, the organisers of the Paris 2024 Olympics are giving nothing away.
No one was able to find out any details of the plans of what we are to expect.
Given the grand scale of the opening ceremony, it should be a joy to behold and could quite well run into Monday also.
It is a true honour for any athlete to be selected to carry their country's flag for the closing ceremony of the Olympics.
Bryony Page and Alex Yee have been chosen to do just that for Team GB.
On a personal note, it means so much to the pair that winners of what is deemed as 'lesser-sports' are given such a moment in the limelight.
After fans were not able to attend the previous Olympics, it has made this one all the much more enjoyable.
The athletes have commented numerous times how special their events have been with the number of fans attending.
With its stunning scenery and backdrops, Los Angeles has something to live up to now when that flame is passed on.

She overcame stern competition to take the medal.
You could see how much it meant to her as she celebrated with Team GB fans.
Great Britain finished in seventh position overall in the games.
They won a total of 65 medals across the entire Olympics.
With 14 gold medals, things could have been so different if they had been able to turn some of those other medals into gold in Paris.
Keely Hodgkinson put ghosts of Tokyo behind her.
She dominated the women's 800m final and controlled the race.

Team GB's trio of Sophie Capewell, Emma Finucane, and Katy Marchant raced to gold in the women's team sprint.

It is the first time Britain has won a women's team sprint medal, of any colour, at the Olympics.
Team GB's rowers have shown at these Olympics that they are still the leading force in the sport.
Sholto Carnegie, Rory Gibbs, Morgan Bolding, Jacob Dawson, Charlie Elwes, Tom Digby, James Rudkin, Tom Ford and Harry Brightmore underpinned this by winning gold in men's eight.
Paris 2024 would prove to be the most successful Olympics for Britain's rowers on foreign soil.
Scott Brash, Ben Maher and Harry Charles won the Team Jumping event to scoop another gold medal for Great Britain.
They qualified for the final in third position, behind Germany and USA but put in a performance to win the event.

Bryony Page won gold for Team GB in the women's trampoline.
Adding to the gold she won at the 2023 World Championships, Page installed herself as both Olympic and World champion.
She will have the honour of being the flag-bearer for the Team GB squad at the closing ceremony this evening also.
Emily Craig and Imogen Grant etched their names into history.
They became the last ever Olympic champions of the lightweight women's double sculls.
Imogen said “This was the only result left for us to achieve and we did it. I’m feeling all the emotions; joy, disbelief, relief, tiredness, joy again, so much happiness and that feeling of a job well done.”
Lauren Henry, Hannah Scott, Lola Anderson, Georgie Brayshaw went on to win the women's quadruple sculls.
In a thrilling finish, behind in second place heading to the finish line, they found a second wind and just edged out Netherlands.
In a sport that Team GB has done so well in over the years, fans were overjoyed to see that gold medal coming home.
After the men's triathlon was thrown into chaos as concerns for the quality of the water in the River Seine, Alex Yee brought home gold for Team GB.
Having to deal with delays to the scheduled date of the event the British athlete still managed to bring home the bacon.
In a true test of endurance Yee managed to make himself an Olympic champion.
Team GB stars Matt Richards, Duncan Scott, Tom Dean, James Guy won the country's first gold medal in the pool.
They stormed to victory in the 4x200m freestyle relay final.
It surprised many with the quality of the finalists but marked a big moment for the British quartet.
Sometimes these games can be life-changing events for the competitors, especially with they way things go viral.
That happened for Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec who did just that due to his calm nature, hand in his pocket, as he shot himself to a silver medal.
None of the specialist equipment of his opponents, just a man with a gun hitting the middle of a target as laid back as you like.
It has led to him appearing on TV shows all over the world and everyone knows him from his exploits.
From Dave Kidd in Paris...
GEORGIA BELL’S coach dismissed her as a posh party girl when they first met - now he is backing Britain’s miracle 1,500m medalist to win gold at the Los Angeles Olympics.
The 30-year-old Olympic debutant grabbed an extraordinary bronze on Saturday, despite having been away from the track for five years and only getting back into athletics via public Park Runs.
And coach Trevor Painter, who also schooled Keely Hodgkinson to 800m gold in Paris, says she can now emulate Kelly Holmes’ Athens heroics by becoming an Olympic champion at the age of 34.
Painter said: “She is 30 but Kelly Holmes was 34 when she did the double gold (in 2004).
“And Georgia is very lightly raced, she had a lot of years out of the sport so her body is not hanging on like some people of her age.”
Painter trained Bell in her early days before she went into the United States college system, where she suffered injuries and ditched the sport.
He recalled: “The first time she came, I thought she was like a society girl, like Tamara Beckwith, a glamorous girl.
“But when I saw her run, I thought ‘oh, all right’. She very quickly rose through the development but the next thing she was off to do a masters in the States.
“You don’t want to hold people back. It’s their life and they do what they want but I was gutted when she went to America because you could see something special.
“She had too much volume (of racing), too many injuries and she fell out of love with it.”
Bell was off the track between 2017 and 2022, when she entered a Park Run in London’s Bushy Park with her boyfriend.
Painter said: “Her and her boyfriend were doing a lot of cycling, he is a good cyclist. During Covid he said ‘shall we go for a run?’ and she said ‘you don’t want to run with me - I used to be all right’.
“They went for a run and she destroyed him. After that, she started training.”
Bell, who lives in Clapham, may now quit her job as a cyber security expert to become a full-time athlete.
Until now she has been teeing up male runners to train with her in Battersea Park, outside of occasional weekends training with Painter and his partner, former world 800m bronze medalist Jenny Meadows.
Meadows said: “She tees people up in Battersea Park to train with - she’ll arrange it with some club-standard boys.
“Keely’s gold was expected, but this was not.”
Nathan Hales set a new Olympic record in his winning of the men's trap competition in Paris.
Hales' win marked the first time Team GB have won an Olympic trap gold since 1968, when Bob Braithwaite topped the podium.
Shooting a superb 48 out of 50 ensured that Nathan Hales also set an Olympic record in the process.
Team GB star Tom Pidcock gave us one of the most exciting finishes to any event in Paris 2024.
It seemed he was destined for silver until they hit a chicane with a tree in the middle, dividing the two riders.
Pidcock edged in front of his opponent and the pair almost touched tyres as they looked to get in front of one another.
The move secured the gold medal for the Team GB rider and incident was one of the most viewed in the entire games.
Ros Canter, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen got the ball rolling in Paris by winning the Team Eventing title.
With Great Britain having won this event in Tokyo, it meant that the trio were able to defend the country's title.
It whet the appetite of a nation as they secured Team GB's first gold medal of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
What a breathless game that was.
A sensational showing from France sees them just miss out on the gold medal, but USA ultimately deserved the win.
As for USA, it is a EIGHTH straight Olympic gold medal win, in what was the perfect sign-off for the 2024 Paris Olympic games.
It finishes 67-66 to the USA, after a fantastic shot from France at the death which ended as a two pointer rather than a three.
That is an insane game.
Wow.
Copper restores a three point lead after great inter-play between her and Stewart.
A'ja Wilson then scores from the free-throw line to give USA a four-point lead!
It looks like the gold is heading to the USA again!
15 seconds to go!
As preparations continue for the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony later today, France have been thrown a curve-ball.
They were forced to close the Eiffel Tower this afternoon after a man was spotted climbing the 1083ft structure.
Emergency services had to race into action to address the matter.
Polce arrested the man who they assume is British from his accent who could heard saying "bloody warm, innit" as he was led away.
