Great Britain rounded off their best-ever showing at the TeamGym European Championships with two senior medals in Guimaraes.
The junior GB teams all made the podium during Friday's finals - with the mixed taking the European title - as the senior groups aimed to follow suit on the fourth and final day of competition.
The senior mixed team qualified for the finals in second place and improved on their score by nearly three whole marks in the final, but it was not enough to top the Swedes as GB claimed a memorable silver.

The senior women's GB team notably improved their floor score from qualification but were ultimately knocked off the podium spots by Finland, who finished third behind Sweden and winners Iceland.
The two leading teams could not be separated in the women's competition - both recording a total of 57.250 - but Iceland's floor and trampette prowess saw them claim a long-awaited gold as GB settled for fourth.
Despite a few falls on trampette, the injury-hit GB senior men's team - who qualified in fourth - shone on floor and tumble to pip host nation Portugal to the bronze medal, with Iceland taking second as serial winners Sweden rode off into the sunset with a remarkable team total of 61.350.
