Team GB are on their way home from Rio after their best Olympic Games for more than 100 years.

Athletes were flown home in style on a gold-nosed British Airways plane.

The aircraft was emblazoned with the hashtag #GreattobeBack which medal winners were encouraged to tweet with.

Diver Tom Daley was pictured in a selfie with the pilot before the plane took off.

And other athletes - including the women's hockey team who scooped Team GB's first ever hockey gold - posted snaps of themselves drinking champagne.

It is rumoured gold medal winners were given first-class tickets thought to cost upwards of £3,000 each.

Seventy-seven extra bottles of champagne and treats were also ordered for the flight, which was serving up a three-course meal.

Hockey champ Lily Owsley tweeted: "Champers and the national anthem out...we're going back to our fave nation."

And her team member Sophie Bray even managed to sneak a few of the girls into the cockpit - not that the pilot seemed to mind.

While Bryony Page - who won silver in the women's trampolining - posted this snap with Judo champ Sally Conway, who took home bronze.

She tweeted: "Post-Games bucket list #1 Enjoy a glass on champagne on the flight home."

The athletes are due to land at London's Heathrow just before 10am with a press conference taking place shortly afterwards.

Great Britain notched up an impressive 67 medals in Rio - including 27 golds, 23 silvers and 17 bronze - finishing second in the medal table behind the US.
