Closing

Lord Luani, Lord Vaea, and Lord Tuita will deliver the message from the Throne during the ceremony.

The programme starts at 10:30 am (local time).

The parliament session will be remembered for the motion of no confidence that was moved against Prime Minister Pohiva Tu'i'onetoa by nine members of the Democratic Party founded by the late Prime Minister 'Akilisi Pohiva, plus a member of the current government who crossed the floor to join the opposition.

The motion detailed several allegations at Tu'i'onetoa, mostly around government spending.

After 11 days of action, the Games were brought to a close with a plethora of pyrotechnics, while the athletes and spectators were also treated to a variety of musical performances.

But it was a celebration tinged with sadness, with a moment of silence held for Iranian para-cyclist Bahman Golbarnezhad, who died following a crash in the men's cycling C4-5 road race on Saturday.
