Olympic silver medallists Paul and Gary O'Donovan have arrived to a hero's welcome in Cork Airport.

The brothers' plane was greeted by a water cannon salute at around 9:30pm.

Hundreds have gathered at the Airport to see the rowers, who will be given a homecoming parade in their native Skibbereen tomorrow.
