Paralympic gold medallist Hannah Cockroft has been awarded the freedom of the Borough of Calderdale. <\/p>\n

Large crowds cheered as Cockroft returned to her hometown of Halifax, West Yorks, to receive the honour. <\/p>\n

Earlier the 20-year-old joined fellow West Yorkshire Paralympians David Stone, Claire Cashmore and Ali Jawad at a special ceremony in Leeds. <\/p>\n

Wheelchair racer Cockroft won two gold medals in the women's T34 100m and 200m wheelchair sprints. <\/p>\n

Cockroft said: \"Seeing all these people it is just amazing. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported me.\" <\/p>\n

She added she was \"honoured\" to become a Freewoman of the Borough. <\/p>\n

A crowd of more than 300 had greeted Cockroft and other Paralympians in Leeds earlier. <\/p>\n

Lord Mayor of Leeds Ann Castle said the event in Millennium Square was \"the perfect way to mark\" their achievements. <\/p>\n

Cyclist David Stone, 31, from Rawdon, West Yorkshire, won gold in the cycling mixed T1-2 road race. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
