Medal-winning performances in Beijing provided inspiration for amateur rowers at Warwick Regatta on Sunday.
The event is held by Warwick Boat Club on the river Avon every year and attracts hundreds of crews from around the country.

Novices, juniors, seniors and veterans raced along the 500m sprint course, with special races designed for beginner crews.

Stratford Boat Club took home the Victor Ludorum trophy for winning the most events as a club on the day.

Warwick captain of boats Mike Rigby said: "Mercifully the rain held off this year and it was a great day.

"This is always a highlight of the club's calendar and the atmosphere was fantastic. Thanks must go to our sponsors and organisers, as well as all of the crews who took part."
