Day six of the 2012 Paralympics and the medal total continued its rampant increase with medals across the board.
In Archery, Danielle Brown retains her gold in the individual compound with team-mate Mel Clarke sealing silver.
Over in the stadium, bronze for David Devine in the T13 1500m setting a new PB while Paul Blake won silver in the T36 400m. David Weir notched up his fourth career Paralympic gold by flying to victory in the T54 1500m and Katrina Hart, Bethy Woodward, Jenny McLoughlin and Olivia Breen sealed bronze in the T35-38 100m relay after a nervy baton-change.
In Boccia, the BC1-2 team took bronze by defeating Portugal 7-5 at the ExCeL but the BC4 mixed pairs lost out on bronze in a defeat to Canada 8-2.
Equestrian success for the two Sophie's as Sophie Wells takes the silver in grade IV freestyle and Sophie Christiansen seals a golden hat-trick by winning the grade 1A freestyle dressage while Deb Criddle wins silver in the grade III freestyle.
Shooter Matt Skelton secures bronze in the R6 50m rifle prone to add to his silver from earlier in the games. Over in the pool, success seems to be everlasting as Ollie Hynd seals bronze in the S8 100m backstroke while Ellie Simmonds takes bronze in the S6 50m freestyle in what she says is her weakest event. Heather Frederiksen seals 100m S8 backstroke gold while Stephanie Millward takes silver in the S9 400m freestyle and Matt Walker takes bronze in the 50m S7 freestyle.
GB still hold second in the medal table but some distance behind China.
