And that brings an end to our Paralympics live blog for day eight. Congratulations to all today's medallists, and indeed all the competitors who have worked so hard to get to a level where they can become Paralympians.

The women's team took bronze in the 4-5 classes. Sammi Kinghorn took bronze in the T53 100m final and Becky Redfern claimed silver in the SB13 women's 100m Breaststroke.
