Britain has finished top of the medal table at the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Swimming Championships, after winning four gold medals in competition last night.
The total of 24 gold, 14 silver and 14 bronze left them one gold clear of their second-place rivals, USA.
The battle went down to the final race, the 4x50m Medley, won by Fran Williamson, Natalie Jones, Liz Johnson and Jane Stidever.
Earlier successes in the week included gold in the Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay (pictured above) and four gold medals for Danielle Watts.
The overall IPC World Swimming Champion will be decided in today's Open Water event.
