Sir Mo Farah has left British fans with enough memories to last a lifetime.
The long-distance legend has forged a career that most could dream of but only a select few could emulate, across a journey that saw him make his GB debut as a junior back in 1999.
An extraordinary career comes to a close at the Great North Run, Farah calling time on racing at an event he has won a staggering six times.
As the athletics great steps onto the start line one last time, we take a look at some of his defining moments.
2010 European Championships: 10,000m gold
Pressure was on Farah heading into the European Athletics Championships in 2010, the Brit looking for a first major outdoors gold medal after being pipped in Gothenburg over 5000m back in 2006.
The then 27-year-old was favoured in Barcelona to take gold but was up against strong competition in the form of Brit Chris Thompson and Italian Daniele Meucci.
But it was a tactical masterclass from Farah when it came down to the final, the Brit employing his trademark routine of sitting at the back, before kicking late on.
A time of 28:24.99 saw Farah claim gold by almost three seconds ahead of Thompson and Meucci, and he followed that with 5000m gold four days later - starting a sizable gold medal haul.
2011 World Championships: 5000m gold
Farah was backed to complete the long-distance double in Daegu but was left disappointed in the 10,000m, beaten by Ethiopia's Ibrahim Jeilan.
But he sealed safe progression into the 5000m final, a final that proved to be one of the most important of his career, capturing what would be the first of six titles at the World Athletics Championships.
In a dramatic finish he outsprinted former world champion Bernard Lagat and Dejen Gebremeskel, with less than a second separating the top three in a truly memorable finish.
It was the biggest moment of Farah’s career to date, and set the path for what was to follow next summer…
London 2012: 10,000m gold
All eyes were on Farah heading into London 2012, one of the faces of the Games with expectations higher than ever on him.
And on an unforgettable night, he delivered his first Olympic title in front of 80,000 raucous home fans.
With Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford already delivering Team GB gold medals that evening, Farah was determined to
follow in their footsteps and once again pulled off his game plan to perfection.
He outkicked Galen Rupp and Tariku Bekele - as well as defending champion Kenenisa Bekele - to capture an emotional gold medal, capping off ‘Super Saturday’ with an enthralling finale.
Farah would then follow that up with 5000m success six nights later, making him one of the athletes of the Games.
Rio 2016: 5000m gold
One Olympic double would be enough for some - but not for Farah, who rode into Rio 2016 once again the favourite for the long-distance races on the track.
After a third Olympic title came his way in the 10,000m, attention switched to whether he would extend his dominance over the discipline even further, having done the double at World Championships in Moscow and Beijing.
The race was a messy one, with various disqualifications and reinstatements afterwards, but none of that affected Farah.
He once proved that it was almost impossible to outkick him, fending off Paul Tanui and Tamirat Tola for a fourth - and ultimately final - Olympic crown in his third Olympic Games.
2019 Great North Run: Sixth straight title
It is fitting that Farah is ending his professional career at an event he once dominated.
From 2014-2018, he won five straight titles at the Great North Run, untouchable in the north east as he continually added more chapters to his incredible legacy.
His 2019 triumph may be his most special though, a sixth straight crown at the event in a time of 59 minutes and seven seconds - faster than all of his previous winning times in the race.
Whether he will be able to deliver a seventh title at the end of his career remains to be seen, but it is guaranteed to be a stirring farewell to a British sporting great.
