Channel 4 broadcasts all the colour and stand-out moments from the Paralympics Closing Ceremony (Channel 4, 6.30pm)

Clare Balding is at the Stade de France which will be packed to the rafters, as athletes, spectators and artists come together to celebrate this year’s Games and, of course, the continuing success of the Paralympic movement.

Clare is also joined by a host of big-name guests in the studio as she looks back on this year’s stand-out stories and moments.

Before the flame is extinguished, signalling the end of the 17th Paralympic Games, a spectacular Closing Ceremony will take place – and, under the artistic direction of Thomas Jolly and the musical direction of Victor le Masne, it promises to be another memorable occasion.

Paris certainly knows how to party once the sun has set, and the City of Lights has long been a pioneer in the field.

The French capital saw the birth of the world’s first clubs, places of artistic expression and freedom, so in a tribute to Parisian nights, 24 artists and DJs from the country’s electronic scene are coming together for a memorable show.

Spanning the generations, the programme will be opened by master of the genre, composer, performer, producer and cultural ambassador Jean-Michel Jarre.

Then, bringig the Games to a fitting close is one of the world’s biggest producers and visionary director of electronic shows, Romain Pissenem.

Among the others taking part is Etienne de Crécy, Cassius (aka Philippe Cerboneschi and Hubert Blanc-Francard) and Busy P (Pedro Winter). They will string together mixtapes to keep the stadium vibrating throughout the show.

We also know that musician, producer, DJ and actor Kavinsky, who participated in the Olympics closing ceremony with singer Angèle, will be present, as will Kungs, Martin Solveig and Offenbach.

In between the lights and music, there will also be a medal presentation ceremony at the stadium, as well as an artistic show and the symbolic hand-off to the city set to host the next Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028, Los Angeles.

Before tonight’s events at the national stadium in St Denis, the final medals of this year’s Paralympics will be handed out, as the men’s and women’s marathons are staged on the streets of Paris.

The finals of men’s up to 107kg and women’s up to 86kg powerlifting events also take place at Porte de La Chapelle Arena, while the action on the para canoeing course at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium concludes, and the women’s wheelchair basketball champions are decided at Bercy Arena.

Three years ago in Tokyo, the Netherlands won the title for the first time after beating China 50-31 in the final.

Then, following tonight’s closing ceremony, Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe present the closing edition of The Last Leg in Paris (10.30pm).

Joined by guests former England Lioness Jill Scott and stand-up comedian Josh Pugh, the trio will reflect on what has been a truly memorable Paralympic Games.
