British Olympians live their best lives on the flight back from Rio
Team GB athletes have landed at Heathrow airport in London after making history at the Rio Olympics with 27 golds, 23 silvers and 17 bronzes -- the biggest medal haul since 1908.
The record-breaking gang returned home with a special British Airways flight with a gold nose cone and a "victoRIOus" livery. The Olympians also tweeted pictures from the BA hashtag #greattobeBAck.
As friends, families and fans waited for them at the airport, the athletes broke in a joyful rendition of the national anthem, "God Save The Queen."
