The athletes, including six-time gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy, will be honoured with a parade on September 14 through the streets of Glasgow, the host city for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Beginning at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end, the parade ends with celebrations at George Square. Athletes and their guests will then attend a reception hosted by First Minister Alex Salmond in the nearby Old Fruitmarket.
