Last weekend, members of Jamaica's World Championships athletics team were honoured at a reception at Jamaica House on Friday, a church service on Saturday and a fun day at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium last Sunday.

If they didn't know how proud we were of them before, they may now have a hint. Here are some highlights.
