All five members of the pop group were snapped holding microphones as they stood on top of traditional London taxis during the practice session, by The Sun.

Also spotted at a disused car plant in Dagenham were Brian May, the Pet Shop Boys, Jessie J, Annie Lennox, Tinie Tempah and George Michael.

The Olympics closing ceremony is expected to be watched by millions and to reflect the nation as a whole.

David Arnold, the closing ceremony’s musical director said: “We’re trying to have moments where someone from the Cotswolds watching it on TV and someone from a tower block overlooking it in the East End will be able to find something in it of which they can say, ‘That’s us, really that’s Britain’.”
