The 12 lorries were all caught on the C-charge cameras and their drivers told to pay £120 each for not paying the £8 fee.

The parade on 16 October saw thousands of people lining streets between Mansion House and Trafalgar Square to celebrate the British squad's best medal tally for 100 years.

Athletes on the floats included Nicola Cooke, Chris Hoy and Rebecca Adlington.

Organisers KB Events said there had been "an oversight by the parade team" which meant the drivers failed to text their registration details in the usual way of paying the charge.

The company has paid the fines as a "one-off gesture".

The Olympic athletes of Team GB won 47 medals including 19 gold, 13 silver and 15 bronzes to come fourth in the medal table.

Britain's Paralympic athletes came second in their table with 102 medals - 42 gold, 29 silver and 31 bronzes.
