Yorkshire's Olympic and Paralympic heroes are to be honoured with a huge homecoming event at Leeds' First Direct Arena.
Athletes will take to the stage on October 10 to talk about their exploits with 2016 Olympic medallist Nile Wilson and sports broadcaster Tanya Arnold.
Attending athletes include Jonny Brownlee, Jess Learmonth, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Jack Laugher MBE and Hannah Cockroft MBE, with more athletes being confirmed daily.

There will be live entertainment on the night from Yorkshire band The Skylights, as well as Phoenix Dance, Yorkshire Prose live poetry and other acts.
It is hoped that thousands of people will attend and be part of this historic event to celebrate our county’s athletes under one roof, together.
Leader of Leeds City Council, Councillor James Lewis, said: “Our Leeds and Yorkshire athletes performed brilliantly at Tokyo 2020, and this homecoming celebration event promises to be the perfect way of congratulating them all on their inspiring achievements.
"The first direct arena will be the ideal venue and we are delighted to have Channel 4 supporting the event, so we look forward to a really special day honouring our sporting heroes and the importance of grassroots sports across the county which helped produce them.”
