Team GB's Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger have won gold in the women's double sculls.

They produced a dominant display and led from the start to win gold ahead of Australia and Poland.

The Team GB pair were 0.7s up a quarter of the way through the race and the lead was extended to over a second at the halfway point.

The advantage had been further extended to 2.6s with 500m to go, and with the gold medal sealed, they eased to the line for a famous triumph.
