Didn’t get shots of? Sir Chris Hoy, Mo Farah, Bradley Wiggins and Victoria Pendleton plus many others as some were on the other side of the float with their back to me. Got Ellie Simmonds but a scaffolding bar obscured her face. May include tomorrow as she was one of the leading lights of the Olympics and is such a character and inspiration.
A few photos below, more photos with full names and further editorial to come on Tuesday.
