Mouskouri bows out,google video

Jul 24 - After 50 years of song international diva Nana Mouskouri has given her last stage performance in Greece, the country of her birth.

The sold out crowd erupted in cheers and applause, giving Mouskouri a standing ovation as she stepped out onto the marbles of the five thousand seat Herod Atticus ancient theatre below the Acropolis in Athens, in her trademark black glasses.

Among the crowd was Greece's prime minister and the mayors of Berlin, Paris and Luxembourg.
