London have successfully clinched the right to host the IAAF Paralympic Athletics World Championships in 2017.
The city's mayor Boris Johnson confirmed earlier this year that they had lodged a bid to host the competition following the success of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer.
The Championships will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford in July 2017, which is just a month before they welcome the IAAF World Athletics Championships to London.
The UK's capital will become the first city to host both Championships in the same year.
