Sir Chris Hoy made history on Tuesday by winning his sixth Olympic title, meaning he now has more golds than any other British Olympian - Sir Steve Redgrave has five.

The 36-year-old won the keirin at the velodrome infront of a cheering crowd, which included Prince Harry.

After his win Hoy said: "It's just unbelievable; it's the most amazing feeling.

"This is the perfect end to my Olympic career."

Team GB's medal tally is now 48, 22 gold, 13 silver and 13 bronze, making it the most successful Games since the London Olympics of 1908.
