Olympic champion Adam Peaty was out greeting the crowds in Uttoxeter today to celebrate his record breaking achievements in Rio.

The gold medallist, who trains in Derby and has recently moved to Loughborough, was back in his hometown for an open top bus tour.

It might have been well over a month since the 21-year-old clinched gold and silver in the pool in Rio.

But the huge crowds lining the streets along the way certainly haven't forgotten the 21-year-old's triumphs.
