Fan zones will be set up across the UK for people to cheer on their favourite athletes during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this summer.

Team GB said it would host the free-to-enter zones from the open ceremony on 26 July to the closing ceremony on 11 August.

They will feature big screens showing the sporting action, activities, on-stage entertainment and DJ sets.

There are nine confirmed fan zones which will be open in seven cities, including London, Edinburgh and Liverpool.

One of the fan zones will be set up Battersea Power Station in London

The venues include King's Cross, Grosvenor Square and Battersea Power Station in London, the Bullring in Birmingham, Cabot Circus in Bristol and St James Quarter in Edinburgh.

The others will be held at Liverpool ONE, Spinningfields in Manchester, and Westquay in Southampton.

Team GB said it hoped to secure further sites across the UK as the build-up to the Olympics continues.

Appearances from past Olympians, question and answer sessions and medal celebrations with Team GB's returning athletes are also planned at the events.
