Disabled and seriously ill children from the London region are on their way home after a dream holiday to Florida. They have been on a so-called Dreamflight trip. It is the biggest trip in the world taking very ill children to the Florida theme parks. This year there were a number of Paralympic medal winners with them to inspire the next generation.

The Dreamfight charity hopes to inspire a new generation of Paralympians following the 2012 games.

Medal winners joined the trip hoping to give the youngsters the confidence to become the sporting heroes of tomorrow.

Our Correspondent Mike Pearse was given exclusive access to the trip and those from London who were on it.
