The exact progression I see at many European airports is:

To Gate (or Go To Gate) at the time they post the gate number (many airports don't reveal actual gates earlier) - this means "Stop shopping and Start Walking"
Boarding - this means "the flight is actually boarding
Closing or Last Call - we're about to close the door
Closed - you just missed your flight.
