Gold medallist from the men's coxed eight, Matt Langridge, said: "It was brilliant, especially being in Henley.
"This is the place we all live, this is where we train most of the time. It's great to see so many people and all the support.
"This is our opportunity to let our hair down and thank everyone, the support we received in Rio was incredible."
