Team GB‘s Olympic heroes have returned home from Paris after the Eurostar train carrying the athletes pulled in to King’s Cross St Pancras.

Hundreds of fans lined the platform waving Union flags and cheering the sporting stars who have competed at this year’s Games – which came to a close at the Stade de France on Sunday evening.

The 327-strong group of athletes managed to surpass Team GB’s total medal haul from the Tokyo Olympics by claiming 65 medals in total.

However, only 14 of those were gold in Paris, compared to 22 gold medals in Tokyo.

Bryony Page, who won gold in the women’s trampoline event, was one of the first off the train to be welcomed home by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who was one of the well-wishers in attendance at the capital’s iconic train station.

Other medalists such as Tom Daley were seen juggling bags and posing for pictures with spectators as they got off the train and made their way through the crowds.

But the iconic diver told Sky News he had left his silver medal in Paris.

The medal – his fifth at the Olympics – was a silver won alongside Noah Williams in the men’s synchronised 10m platform in Paris.

Daley had the honour of bearing the flag for the United Kingdom at the Opening Ceremony alongside rower Helen Glover.

For the Closing Ceremony, triathlete Alex Yee and gymnast Page were awarded the flag bearing duties.

The honour was bestowed upon the pair after being nominated by a British Olympic Association council.

Yee cemented himself as the most successful Olympic triathlete of all time when he won two medals in Paris.

The 26-year-old took home the gold medal in the men’s individual triathlon, surpassing New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde on the final stretch to win.

Yee also helped Team GB secure the bronze in the mixed relay, taking his overall Olympic medal tally to four.
