SUCH an intimate moment played out in front of 73,000 people inside the Stade de France and millions more watching at home on TV.
Keely Hodgkinson's father Dean is in bits as he embraces her daughter following her magnificent women's 800m final gold medal win at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The 22-year-old Atherton ace picked him out in the crowd as she did her lap of honour while wearing a crown and bathed in a Union Jack.
She was the hot favourite to win gold and she delivered in style.
