Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock has said he is “massively grateful” that a homecoming event is able to go ahead for Team GB athletes after more than a year of coronavirus restrictions on large gatherings.

The gymnast said: “I think it’s definitely a day to celebrate everyone as a team … I can’t wait to meet up with everyone and see everyone.” Report by Buseld. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
