Yes, well done to them.

It's been a good olympics for team UK.

Let's hope we don't cock up the next one.

How can there be any doubt?

Britains Paralympic team come second after China and beating the US into 3rd place.

Well done guys and girls. Shme the news is overshadowed by economics tulip.

I just hope that they got treated as heroes when they flew back into the UK like the Olympic team. Did they also get a nice Jumbo jet with all the trimmings? Will they get the same recognition as the Olympic team (i.e. sponsorship, homours list, etc.) Doubt it, still treated as second class citizens probably.

I think they were bloody brilliant

That was certainly very well done and the main team also did very well - almost got 3rd place in gold, very good result but the shame is that Govt is most likely going to cut money given to them due to overruns and general budget crisis.

I think there is going to be an open top bus parade with both olympic and paralympic teams.
