it's a very busy moment at the moment,
but I also want to thank you very much for what you have done. 
As I wrote down there, we started 14 months ago, 
it was about a few hundred metres down that way. 
And now we close it! 
And it's been a huge, great, tremendous job you've done. 
And I must say today I'm a bit sad, 
because it went so well, 
I'm sure if things can go as well as this, that it will be difficult 
just to do it as well as you did it. 
So, great job folks! Thank you.
Really thank you because it was a wonderful job. 
Thank you.
So this is the standard part, this is the proof that the interconnection has been 
checked according to a very detailed checklist and every detail 
has been validated before closing finally the interconnection. 
All what you see around is the signature of the team that has 
performed the closure of the 1,695th interconnection. 
So this is unusual it is just because today 
18 June 2014 we are celebrating the closure of the last interconnection of the LHC.
A great job has been done. The 1st one has been opened 
14 months ago and now we are there 
having reclosed the complete machine. 
We have put a special golden nut as the last one that we've installed in the LHC.
