An estimated 800,000 spectators thronged the streets of Tokyo on Friday to celebrate Japan's Rio Olympic and Paralympic medal-winning athletes in an open-top parade.

The procession of 50 Olympians and 37 Paralympians traveled a 2.5-km course from the city's Toranomon area, through Ginza to the Nihonbashi district, more than double the length of the previous parade following the London Games four years ago, which attracted around half a million supporters.
