Laura and Jason Kenny are among a host of Olympians being honoured at Buckingham Palace today.

The nation's favourite cycling couple have received accolades for the string of gold medals they've won for Team GB.

Jason, from Bolton, married 24-year-old Laura in September and the pair announced earlier this year that they're expecting their first child.

Show jumping champion Nick Skelton, who became Britain's second-oldest gold medallist with victory at Rio 2016, has also been honoured, along with a number of Paralympians, including archers Joanna Frith, John Walker and Jessica Stretton.

Olympic sailor Hannah Mills and England footballers Alexandra Scott and Karen Carney are among the other athletes who've been recognised.
