Name the singer who sang a song from the 1960s at the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games in 2012. The lyrics mentioned the name of a large railway station in London.

Yes John,that's close enough. Ray Davies from the Kinks sang Waterloo Sunset. "Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise.
Millions of people swarming like flies round waterloo underground."
