Description

Crowds started gathering outside the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on Sunday as the 2020 Olympic Games closing ceremony is set to take place.

Due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19, no members of the public are attending the event, with only a few special guests allowed inside the venue.

The theme of the closing ceremony is 'Worlds We Share,' which is expected to express 'the idea that each of us inhabits their own world' and, even if people cannot be together, they can all 'share the same moment,' in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that delayed the Games for one year.
