We're ending our live coverage of Team GB's arrival back home.

Britain's most decorated diver, Tom Daley, confirmed his retirement in the moments after the team disembarked the Eurostar train that took them from the French capital to St Pancras station in London. 

He also revealed he'd left his silver medal - his fifth won at the Olympics - back in Paris. 

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was among well-wishers to greet the team, with hundreds lining the platform to get a glimpse of the team - who beat their Tokyo 2021 tally by one medal.

Finally, over in Ireland, thousands flocked to O'Connell Street to Dublin to welcome back their most successful Olympics team ever. 

Thanks for following along. 

"It feels very, very surreal," Tom Daley said as he announced his retirement. 

"I felt so incredibly nervous going into this, knowing it was my last Olympics," he said during an interview with . 

Here's what he had to say: "There was a lot of pressure and expectations. I was eager for it to be done.

"But when I walked out, and saw my husband and kids and my friends and family in the audience, I was like, you know what? This is exactly why I did this.

"It was emotional at the end, up there on the platform, knowing it was going to be my last competitive dive.

"But I have to make the decision at some point, and it feels like the right time. It's the right time to call it a day."

Sky News has just heard from Lewis Richardson, who is fresh from winning a bronze medal in Paris. 

He finished third in men's welterweight boxing. 

"It feels so special," he says of winning a medal on the world's biggest stage. 

"Memories that will last for life, a really special moment for me, and my family," he adds. 

He describes the experience as "unique", saying he was asking fellow Team GB members for selfies. 

"Rest can wait at the moment," he adds, noting he's at a charity event early morning tomorrow. 

As we reported earlier, Ireland is welcoming home its athletes - who put in historic performances to earn the most medals in the island's history.

Here are some pictures from O'Connell Street in Dublin, where massive crowds gathered to welcome the team home. 

Tom Daley has confirmed he is retiring from competitive diving. 

This follows his fifth Olympic medal in Paris (silver) - having won bronzes in London and Rio de Janeiro, plus a gold and a bronze in Tokyo. 

However, as we reported earlier, he told the media that he had left his fifth medal in the French capital...

He retires as Britain's most decorated diver ever. 

"Everything felt like a bonus already," he told our correspondent Alice Porter. 

Here is a list of his Olympic achievements: 

• Bronze in 10m platform at London 2012
• Bronze in 10m synchronised at Rio 2016
  
• Gold in 10m synchronised at Tokyo 2020
  
• Bronze in 10m platform at Tokyo 2020
• Silver in 10m synchronised at Paris 2024

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was among the well-wishers to greet Team GB as they got off the golden Eurostar train from Paris. 

Here he is posing with some of the athletes and fans...

Alex Yee, fresh from winning a gold medal in the men's triathlon, tells the media he's not set for any rest despite his stellar performance in Paris. 

Asked what he'll be doing with his time off, he says: "Well we've got a race on Saturday - it's non-stop for us triathletes." 

Between then and now, he says he wants to "live in the moment" and maybe play some golf. 

Our team at St Pancras has just spoken to Tom Daley - who revealed he left his silver medal in Paris.

The medal - his fifth at the Olympics - was won alongside Noah Williams in the men's synchronised 10m platform in Paris.

Asked what's next for him, he says he wants to spend more time with his kids - and his knitting.

So - they're back!

Do the athletes stop now? When do they compete again? And will they get paid?

The chief executive of UK Sport, Sally Munday, tells Sky News: "This is the absolute joy of our system," pointing to the great investment secured for the athletes. 

"Because we've become so good at it [Olympics and Paralympics]... we have a consistency of investment, [and that means] the majority of these athletes are able to train full-time.

"We're able to give them a grant to contribute towards living costs and the national governing bodies [of the sports] are able to put programmes together that allow them to train every single day."

On top of that, "for a lot of our athletes, they're not doing this for money", she adds. 

So their funding is secure and they'll be paid, but what about their training - and the next Olympics? 

"We've already been speaking to the sports about investment for the LA [2028] cycle, so some of the athletes will get some down time, then they will start looking forward to what they've got coming up in the next year, like championships, and beyond that to LA." 

Tom Daley has just disembarked the Eurostar train, smiling at the crowds of people.

He won his fifth Olympic medal with a silver alongside Noah Williams in the men's synchronised 10m platform in Paris.
