The world's paralympians have now jetted into the UK, ready for the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the most eagerly-anticipated ever. Many will have enjoyed a special welcome courtesy of British Airways.

A series of giant images of GB Paralympian Shelly Woods is being projected on to British Airways' engineering hangars at Heathrow as the world's Paralympic athletes arrive for the Games. The words 'Welcome to our Manor' and 'HomeAdvantage' are alongside the pictures to remind visitors which team has home advantage.

As official airline partner of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the airline has supported athletes and their families from 26 Olympic and 20 Paralympic sports with flights to train and compete abroad. The airline is also the partner of the British Olympic Association and British Paralympic Association.
