Inothewayurthinkin was given a hero's welcome on Tuesday afternoon as the Cheltenham Gold Cup hero enjoyed a homecoming parade in a sun-drenched County Meath.

The JP McManus-owned gelding proved too strong for dual winner Galopin Des Champs in the feature event on the fourth and final day of last week's Cheltenham Festival, rocketing six lengths clear on the run-in under Mark Walsh.
