The members of legendary comedy troupe 'Monty Python' performed together for the final time on Sunday (20.07.14).
Eric Idle, 71, John Cleese, 74, Michael Palin, 71, Terry Gilliam, 73, and Terry Jones, 72, took their last bow together at London's O2 arena following a sold-out 10 night run which pocketed them all £2.2million each.
Celebrities including James Corden, David Walliams and Rob Brydon attended while Mike Myers and Eddie Izzard featured in some of the sketches on the last night of the One Down, Five To Go performances which included many of their classics such as the Dead Parrot sketch.
The troupe received a standing ovation from the crowd of 20,000 at the arena, while the final night was broadcast on UKTV GOLD and in cinemas around the world.
As the quintet took their final bow, the caption Monty Python 1969-2014 could be seen before being replaced by a sign which told the audience to "P**s Off".
The lavish production - which featured state-of-the-art sets, expensive video skits and backing dancers - is thought to have cost £4.5 million to stage.
A portion of the profits will go to the estate of late 'Monty Python' star Graham Chapman, who died in 1989 but continues to have a presence in the troupe's sketches.
Speaking before the final performance, Idle told The Sun newspaper: "I'd just like to be remembered at the end of the show for getting through it. How would I like to be remembered? With a small ripple of applause!"

Katie Price claims Kieran Hayler first cheated on her when she was in hospital after giving birth to their son.
The 36-year-old star confessed earlier this year that she'd discovered her husband had been having a "full blown sexual affair" with her best friend Jane Pountney and she's now revealed that they first got together while she was in hospital after having an emergency Caesarean section when her waters broke prematurely.
Katie, Kieran, her children - Harvey, 12, nine-year-old Junior and seven-year-old Princess - and Jane and her husband Derrick were all on holiday in France when she first suspected something was going on between them and she now claims they took advantage of her being in hospital.
She told The Sun newspaper: "They had their first sex in the bathroom upstairs in the villa. Later on, they had sex in my bed while I was lying in hospital alone.
"I felt so scared. All I wanted was for Kieran to visit me but he kept saying his shoulder was hurting and he needed to rest. I couldn't reach Kieran on his phone and kept texting Jane asking to tell Kieran to come and visit but she was not passing the messages on.
"Instead, she was telling him things like, 'You're just one of many, Katie will get rid of you soon'."
Katie - who is now heavily pregnant with her and Kieran's second child - had had a traumatic experience giving birth to Jett but claims her spouse rarely came to the hospital to see if they were OK, and instead continued his affair, even after she had been discharged.
She added: "Apparently, I once returned to the villa just 10 minutes after they finished having sex in the kitchen ... I felt like I had lost the man I'd married. Deep inside, I was really struggling. He had dramatically changed and now I know why."

Keira Knightley has been offered a record deal by Adam Levine.
The 29-year-old actress - who plays songwriter Gretta alongside Adam in the new comedy-drama 'Begin Again' - is said to have impressed the Maroon 5 frontman with her vocal abilities, prompting him to offer her a record deal at his new label '222 Records'.
A music industry insider told The Sun: "Keira has offers on the table and is tempted by them. She enjoyed singing in the movie and people around her were impressed.
"Adam has just started a label called 222 Records and has been trying to persuade Keira to sign a deal with him."
The 'Harder To Breathe' hitmaker - who also stars as a coach on the 'The Voice' - was so impressed by Keira's talent, he now believes adding her to the new label will give it a "kickstart" in the industry.
The source explained: "He thinks she could be a successful pop star and sell loads of records, which would help kickstart his career as a label boss."
However, Keira - who is married to Klaxons musician James Righton - has previously insisted that she struggles to play guitar and has no real interest in music.
She confessed: "I know nothing about music."
Meanwhile, Adam and his 'Victoria's Secret' model girlfriend Behati Prinsloo tied the knot in Mexico over the weekend.
According to Us Weekly, the happy couple were joined by around 300 guests as they showed their love for one another in a beautiful ceremony.
Stars like Jonah Hill, Candice Swanepoel and Jason Segal were all in attendance.
An insider recently said: "Everyone seemed to have a great time. The party went to the late hours."

Paris Hilton tries to ignore her critics.
The socialite has hit back at people who criticise her for her career path, or the image they have seen on shows like 'The Simple Life', and insisted while their comments were "really hurtful" in the past, she's now in a position where she finds them more funnier than painful.
She told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper's Stella magazine: "If people want to be mean, that's their problem. It used to be really hurtful. I would call and cry to my mom all the time but now I just laugh."
However, Paris insisted her fame has meant she has encountered some difficulties when it comes to friends and relationships, and claimed a lot of girls try to be her friend simply to ride her coattails and make a name for themselves.
She added: "So many people have bad intentions, so many girls want to hang out [with me] to be someone.
"I weed those people out of my life. I call them hungry tigers."
However, she credited the notion of people wanting to "be" here with making her businesses so successful.
She explained: "[My fans want] to buy a piece of me. It's like a kind of Barbie American dream.
"I have that childlike quality so a lot of little girls especially [like me]. I've always been a kid at heart. I think I always will be."

Ed Sheeran says One Direction will be able to hide it when they're struggling with fame.
The 'Sing' hitmaker has dismissed the idea he would ever talk about life in the spotlight with members of the 'Best Song Ever' boy band, but he's sure when it gets too much, they do the same as him and don't let it show.
He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's EVENT magazine: "When I see them - the last time I saw all of them was last year at the MTV Video Music Awards , but I see Harry [Styles] quite a lot - I don't counsel them.
"We have a drink and some fun. Whenever I see them, they're fine, but I have times where I don't handle things very well and I mask it, and I'm sure they can mask it as well.
"I don't have any of the frustrations that they might have, because they have to make decisions as five, whereas I'm my own man. That's the balance they have to get."
Meanwhile, Ed opened up about his celebrity friendship with Courteney Cox, and admitted he stays at her home "pretty much every time" he visits Los Angeles, and he insisted it just happened by accident.
He added: "With Courteney, you don't really ask. She's a southern girl, pure Alabama, so she's very much 'the hostess with the mostess'.
"She's very warm and friendly, and wants to give to everyone. She lets people stay, cooks dinner, shows an interest in what they're doing.
"So it's not so much forcing yourself, or her asking you, you're just there. Pretty much very time I go to LA now that's where I stay."

Lily Allen thinks "maybe" her songs weren't good enough on her third album.
The 'Smile' star's most recent record, 'Sheezus', flopped and she now acknowledges that it could be partly her fault and the songs weren't as strong as they could have been.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Maybe the songs aren't good enough this time, who knows? I just know I can't wait to get back into the studio."
Lily - who went on a musical hiatus between 2011 and 2013, during which time she had daughters Ethel, two, and Marnie Rose, 18 months and wed Sam Cooper - also says the differing sounds of her first two singles, 'Hard Out Here' and 'Air Balloon' could have confused some fans.
She added: "I put my trust in other people, which I don't usually do. I usually
go with my own gut feeling but maybe I wasn't feeling as confident as I have in
the past because of all the hormones.
"The first thing I came back with was 'Hard Out Here' and that was important to me, a real statement of intent, even though you couldn't put it on the radio over here because it had too much swearing.
"I thought it did really well and then management and the label chose to go with 'Air Balloon' and I just think starting with something really aggressive and in your face and then going in a different direction... people need to know what they are getting."

Pink threw her husband a bicycle bar crawl for his 39th birthday.
The 'So What' singer took Carey Hart and his friends around Los Angeles on Friday (18.07.14) to celebrate his birthday the previous day, and by his own admission he partied too hard.
Alongside a picture of Carey passed out on a bed and being written on by a pal, while his wife straddles him, she wrote on Twitter: "And that's how amateurs end up at 7 pm on their birthdays. Face down and written on. Bam. @hartluck luv yu babee (sic)."
Carey also tweeted the next day, adding a similar picture and writing: "This picture goes to show i can still party like im 21. Thateabs drink to much, throw up, and pass out by 8pm!!!! Had so much fun yesterday. Thanks to my awesome wife for putting the shin dig together. (sic)"
The bar crawl looked like a wacky affair with one of Carey's friends dressing in a banana suit with a pink bikini for the occasion and another in a suit to make her look like the 'Sesame Street' character Big Bird.
The motocross racer also received plenty of well wishes from his fans, and Pink made sure to thank them all.
She tweeted: "Thanks to all of you for @hartluck s bday wishes, he is so grateful for the extended family you all are."

Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine "don't want to go overboard" for Prince George's first birthday.
The royal toddler will celebrate turning one on Tuesday (22.07.14), but his parents have vowed not to spoil with too many presents.
A source told Usmagazine.com: "George will be getting clothes and wooden toys from mum and dad for his birthday.
"William and Catherine don't want to go overboard. He has been given so many gifts over the months and there's only so much space to store them."
The royal couple celebrated with a party at Catherine's mother and father's house yesterday, and there will be another celebration on his actual birthday held at Kensington Palace in London.
A spokesperson for the palace said: "The family is marking it privately with close family and friends at Kensington Palace."
Another source says the celebration will most likely be an indoor tea party although it "may extend to the garden if the weather remains glorious".
The palace party will include George's great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, uncle Prince Harry, and Catherine's family the Middletons, and aunt Pippa and grandmother Carole recently visited baby store Blue Almonds in London to pick out a special birthday outfit for George.

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have sparked rumours they are dating.
The 'Twilight' beauty and 'The Vampire Diaries' actor first raised eyebrows this weekend when they were pictured going for a run together, and today (20.07.14) they were seen getting very close at a farmer's market in Los Angeles, with Ian holding a protective arm around Nikki and nuzzling her neck.
The pair - who have been friends for a long time - used to go on double dates when they were with their previous partners, and Nikki is said to still be good friends with Ian's ex, Nina Dobrev.
Nina has recently said she supports Ian in all that he does and they remain close.
She explained: "I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex. I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated."
Nikki, 26, was previously married to musician Paul McDonald, but they separated in March and filed for divorce in May.
At the time they were working on recording an album together, 'I'm Not Falling', and
Nikki had previously claimed music was the secret to their happy marriage.
She said: "I feel like especially being in this crazy, weirdo world that we're in, where we're making movies and people are on tour, it's just so easy to lose track of what's important.
"I feel like it's really important to just be with each other and make the other person a priority."
