Two lads with fake medals blag their way onto Team GB's Olympic 'Heroes' parade

The cheeky pair got past security and onto the women’s hockey team’s float.

THE HEROES PARADE, honouring Team GB’s Rio Olympians, took place in Manchester yesterday with 150,000 people turning out to show their support.

While nearly 400 athletes who participated at last summer’s Games were in attendance, two young men also wound up taking part after chancing their arm.

Dressed in Team GB tracksuits and wearing fake plastic medals, the pair were enjoying themselves on a float alongside the women’s hockey team before this Sky News reporter blew their cover:
