English term or phrase: Thank you very much for your attention

I'd like to put this phrase in Japanese at the final slide of a presentation delivered in English to Japanese speakers.

If possible - I'd appreciate the answer in Japanese characters so that I can copy&paste it.
Thanks.

Explanation:
There can be many different phrases, but I think this is one of the most commonly heard ones. It says, "thank you (for coming, attending the seminar, listening, your attention ... not specifically said) today."

Explanation:
I voted for Leoakiko, but when came to think about it ご清聴 means "listening attentively"... This better fits for "lectures" which may or may not accompany a slide or PP presentation.

In order to be more encompassing, I believe my choice is better, as it covers any type of presentation to any kind of audience.
In essence, what it means is "I thank you very much for sparing your precious time for my presentation."

thank you very much for your attention ありがとうございました。

Explanation:
Could be simply equivalent of "Thank you", in a possible setting, I guess.
