Luis Suarez has returned home to Uruguay to a hero's welcome despite being kicked out of the World Cup.

| Thank you: A wave to the crowd |
Standing on the deck of his mother's home in Lagomar, near Montevideo, he looked carefree as waved to crowds while holding his son Benjamin and daughter Delfina.
While Benjamin might not yet be old enough to know not to sink his teeth into others, perhaps Delfina could teach her father a thing or two about acceptable behaviour.
Suarez's return came as his team-mates trained in Rio ahead of their clash with Colombia and news that Liverpool are set to sell him to Barcelona for £80million.
Fans flocked to Carrasco International Airport to greet the arrival of the banned striker who was handed a nine-game international ban and four-month suspension from all football.
Supporters turned out in force to greet the Liverpool star, with some wearing masks as a tribute.

Uruguayan President Jose Mujica was at the airport at one point, but returned home because Suarez's flight was delayed.
Because of the delay, the crowd of about 1,000 fans were moved from the airport terminal to an adjacent air force base to await his arrival.
Suarez was earlier seen with the rest of the team in Rio as they were pictured arriving at their hotel.
The Uruguayan Football Association are preparing an appeal against the severity of the sentence, which also includes a £64,000 fine. But there is no chance of Suarez appearing at Brazil 2014 again.
FIFA’s strict regulations barring him from any involvement in football mean he cannot even watch Liverpool or Uruguay in action — he is banned from football stadiums and must train alone away from Liverpool’s Melwood training ground.
