TOM Daley has announced his retirement from diving following the Olympic Games in Paris.

The 30-year-old claimed the fifth Olympic medal of his extraordinary diving career with silver in the men's synchronised 10-metre platform in France.

In an emotional interview with the BBC at St Pancras station shortly after Team GB's return, he said the decision to retire "was hard to talk about".

It comes after Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise performed an incredible stunt at the closing ceremony of the Olympics, leaping from the top of the Stade de France, as the Games were handed over to Los Angeles.
