Dundalk's Kate O'Connor received a hero's welcome when she arrived back in her home town yesterday evening.

A large crowd gathered at the World Heptathlon silver medallist's old school, St Vincent's secondary school, to give the local sporting legend a rapturous welcome home.

And our photographer Arthur Kinahan was there to capture the great event.
