Team GB athletes are back home after landing at Heathrow Airport following Great Britain's most successful Olympic Games in more than a century.

Hounslow's Mo Farah and canoeist Richard Hounslow, from Harrow, were among those to win medals at the Games, and can expect hero's welcomes back on home soil.

And all eyes are on Heathrow on Tuesday (August 23) as plane-fulls of athletes touch down - in British Airways planes with gold noses - following their month in the spotlight, ready to go home or on holidays for a well-earned rest.

A press conference is expected at around midday, where we will hear from key figures in the Team GB Olympics team on their incredible success.

The athletes, who bring home 67 medals including 27 gold and 23 silver, look in fine spirits, with footage emerging of them dancing on the plane the moment the seatbelt signs were turned off.

Many will feel their lives will now be somewhat empty without mammoth sporting performances from homegrown heroes to watch on TV, bit there is of course the Paralympic Games to look forward to.

The Games, competed in by athletes with a range of disabilities, begin in Rio on Wednesday September 7 and run until September 18.
