A look at the sporting weekend in pictures

The Lions turned in an impressive second-half display to stun world champions South Africa.

The British and Irish Lions' stunning comeback victory over world champions South Africa and the quest for Olympic glory dominated the headlines this weekend.

In Tokyo, dreams came true and others were shattered, while Nacho Elvira won his maiden European Tour title in the Cazoo Open at Celtic Manor.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look some of the images captured over an eventful weekend.
