I spoke a lot with Prince Harry yesterday on the hill and he shared as great as Opening Ceremony was, Closing Ceremony is important because we want them to know this is just the end of a chapter of their journey, and we need to encourage them to make sure that journey continues,” Moore said on Feb. 12.
