Jones' victory narrowly edged out Mo Farah's second gold in the 5,000 metres in the Olympic Stadium and "Super Saturday" - when Jess Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah all won gold - to take top spot.

People voted on Twitter and through the BT website in the national BT Moments poll.

The campaign was launched by Paralympic champion and BT ambassador Oscar Pistorius in front of guests at the BT British Olympic Ball, including Olympians, Paralympians, London 2012 stakeholders and media.

Pistorius' victory in the T44 400m in the Paralympic Games featured in the top 10.

During the voting process, the BT Moments campaign received support from top Olympians and sporting superstars, including footballer Fabrice Muamba, Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley and Olympic legends Sir Steve Redgrave and Denise Lewis.

The ultimate top 10 moments, as voted for by the British public, are:
