Great Britain signed off Tokyo 2020 with 65 medals – including 22 golds – to match their medal haul from the London 2012 Games.

There was less to celebrate for the British and Irish Lions, who lost their series decider 19-16 to South Africa.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look some of the images captured over an eventful weekend.
