Britain will salute its Olympic heroes with a victory parade which will see up to a million sports fans cheering Team GB through the streets of London.

The breath-taking achievements of around 800 Olympians and Paralympians will be recognised with a spectacular carnival of floats riding down The Mall to Buckingham Palace.

Medal winners such as Sir Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis will have the opportunity to show off their silverware at the parade on Monday September 10, after which both Team GB and Paralympics GB will be received by David Cameron.
