The event in the capital, called I Am Team GB, will take place on August 14 and will start at 11am at the Olympic Stadium, where the public can do A 'Lap of Honour' around the stadium within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which feeds into an event village.

"It has been such a difficult 18 months for everyone around the UK," said Guy. "Hopefully the Olympic Games and the performances of Team GB have helped to lift the mood of the nation.

"Tokyo was such a wonderful experience for me personally and I hope that the millions of people watching the Olympic Games have a newfound ambition to try sport.

"Being active is so important for people's mental and physical well-being – and the weekend in August is a great opportunity to experience what it is like to be an Olympian.

"The 'Festival of Sport' will harness the incredible stories of Team GB athletes in Tokyo to inspire men and women, boys, and girls across the UK to 'Get Up and Get Active' at free and fun events held around the country.

"I Am Team GB represents a great opportunity for me, as a Team GB Olympian, to give back to the community that has done so much to support me on my journey as an athlete, and hopefully play a role in inspiring more people to get active, play Olympic sport and live healthier lifestyles."

There will also be free hero events at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, and the University of Hull, plus a family fun day at Paulton Park, the home of Team GB's newest recruit Peppa Pig, while other events will be taking place all over the country on August 14 and 15.
