Great Britain's Paralympians go into the final full day of a stunning games having won a record number of medals in front of packed-out stadiums and unprecedented TV audiences - with hopes of further glory still to come.

Swimming superstar Ellie Simmonds enters the pool later to cap what has been a memorable games for her, as she goes for her third gold in the 100m freestyle.

The teenager has been one of the standout performers of the games and has won the nation's hearts on her way to wins in the 200m and 400m, as well as bronze in the 50m event.

She will aim to go one better than the two golds she bagged at Beijing - which she won aged just 13 - as she performs in the aquatics centre for the final time.

Oscar Pistorius, beaten by GB's Jonnie Peacock in a thrilling 100m final on Thursday, will provide the final showpiece as he competes in the 400m this evening.

His appearance will be the final race in the stadium, which has seen some incredible performances over the last nine days.

The South African prompted a fierce debate after criticising the length of Alan Oliveira's blades during his 200m defeat on Sunday.

He tweeted yesterday: "Looking forward to stepping out tonight and tomorrow for my last and favourite event, The Quarter-400m! The Final event of London 2012."

The British gold rush is expected to continue tomorrow as David Weir competes in the London wheelchair marathon.

Weir, 33, known as The Weirwolf of London, won the 800m gold in a sensational performance on Thursday as the raucous crowd sang along to his trademark song Werewolves Of London.

Fans will again be howling with delight as they line the city's streets to cheer him on to a quadruple gold crown.
Peacock, 19, elevated himself to greatness after flying to victory in the 100m final.

Channel 4 said a record audience of more than six million tuned in to watch the athlete's win - the biggest of the Paralympics so far.

It smashed the previous highest for a live event, which was 4.4 million for Sunday's 200m race in which Pistorius lost to Brazilian Alan Oliveira.

Josie Pearson, 26, yesterday won Britain's 32nd of the games in the discus final.

The Bristol-born athlete was just 17 and a promising showjumper when in 2003 she was left paralysed in a car crash that broke her vertebrae.

Tomorrow a dramatic closing ceremony will bring the curtain down on what has undoubtedly been one of the most successful Paralympics ever.

Stars including Jay-Z and Rihanna will appear at the event, which has been shrouded in mystery.

Coldplay are also set to perform at the ceremony, which is sold out and expected to be watched by millions world-wide.

British stars of the Olympics and Paralympics will them celebrate their summer of success during a victory parade through the streets of London on Monday.
