The 11 days of 20th Commonwealth Games came to a glittering end last night at Glasgow's Hampden Park amid fireworks and fanfare.

Pop princess Kylie Minogue and local star Lulu performed at the last day of the city's "Commonwealth Festival".

India finished fifth with 64 medals, even while a couple of officials embarrassed the contingent by their antics.

Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex and vice patron of Commonwealth Games Federation, declared the closing of Glasgow 2014, Scotland's biggest sporting extravaganza to date.

"Every four years, these Games bring the spirit of our Commonwealth alive. I called sportsmen and women from all nations and territories of the Commonwealth to come together in four years' time to celebrate the 21st Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast in Australia. Until then, in the name of Commonwealth Games Federation, I proclaimed the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games closed," he said.

Vibrant fireworks, revelry and pmemorable performances marked the end of the 11-day competition among 4,929 athletes from 71 countries and territories of the erstwhile British Empire.

More than 2,000 volunteers sang and danced to the tunes of Scottish singers in front of a packed crowd complete with laser light and sound show.
