Following 11 days of jam-packed Commonwealth Games action, the curtains came down on the XX11 edition of the event last night with a spectacular closing ceremony at Alexander Stadium here in Birmingham, England.
The “largest Commonwealth Games” ever was declared a resounding success by President of the Commonwealth Games Federation (GCF), Dame Louise Martin as the thousands of frolicking athletes paraded in front of the 30,000 spectators.
The Guyanese contingent clad in the nation’s colours were among the athletes.
