The Our Greatest Team Parade was a victory parade to celebrate the achievements of British athletes who competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics. It also recognised the contributions of all the other participants and workers involved in the games. It was held on Monday 10 September 2012 at 1:30pm. The parade took place the day after the closing ceremony of the Paralympics to ensure that the maximum number of athletes were able to participate and to avoid clashing with other commitments.
The parade was organised by Mayor of London Boris Johnson in association with the British Olympic Association and the British Paralympic Association. The parade was sponsored by British Airways, BP, BT, the National Lottery and Visa. The Greater London Authority also coordinated the parade with the British Olympic Association, the British Paralympic Association, Transport for London, London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), the Metropolitan Police Service, Westminster City Council, the London Ambulance Service, the London Fire Brigade, Innovision, The Royal Parks, the BBC, Channel 4 and the City of London Corporation. The parade was part of the Look and Celebrations Programme, delivered by the Mayor of London.
