A Scottish double Olympic medal winner has been flown to Rio for the 2016 Games - by his father.

Canoe slalom hope David Florence, 33, of Aberdeen, won Olympic silver medals in Beijing and London.

George Florence, 62, is a senior pilot with BA and flew Team GB's first athletes - including his son - into Rio on Sunday night.

The four-strong slalom team were the first Team GB athletes to check in to the Olympic village.

Mr Florence Snr is a former Scottish national canoe champion.

He will return to Rio in two weeks to watch his son compete.
