As the British astronaut heads for Norway, en route to Germany and a reunion with his wife Rebecca and their two boys, we're going to sign off our coverage on this page. Thanks for being with us today.
It's a shame we didn't get to have a sit-down Q&A with Tim, but a media conference has been scheduled for Tuesday and, of course, we'll be across that here on BBC News.

And to tide you over, enjoy a selection of Tim's photos of Planet Earth.

"In the edit"
Our science editor is now preparing his report for the evening news.
...and the men do indeed come out of the back room to be taken straight to the Nasa Gulfstream jet that will transport them to Norway. Sarah Rainsford reports that Tim is still smiling, so he must be in decent shape.
In Norway, the Gulfstream will land to allow Tim Peake to board another plane to Cologne in Germany. Cologne is the HQ of the European Space Agency's astronaut operations.
Tim Kopra will go on to the US.
Cameras down... out of courtesy
Our Moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford says they have been asked not to film the astronauts when they are taken to the plane. "They may be feeling a little overwhelmed," she says.
They're currently in a back room at the airport receiving medical attention. All the officials around Sarah stress there is nothing wrong. The men are just very, very tired. "They've just come back from space."
"Very tired"
We hear from our team at Karagandy that the reason the two Tims didn't join Yuri Malenchenko for the press conference is because they are exhausted. But nothing to worry about, say Russian officials.
Who can blame them? That's quite an experience they've been through today.
We'll see if they have the energy to make an appearance a bit later.
Russian hero
We've currently got just Yuri Malenchenko in the press conference. Neither Tim Peake nor Tim Kopra are present. We're not sure why at the moment.
Remember, after today, Malenchenko becomes the second most experienced spaceman in history, having spent a cumulative time in orbit of 827 days. A remarkable achievement.
Only Gennadi Padalka has more. A total of 878 days.

Press conference due soon
We're expecting to hear from the Expedition 47 crew very shortly. There'll be a short ceremony where they'll receive a matryoshka doll bearing their faces, together with some local traditional clothing.
"I have found it incredible the interest that my four-year-old daughter has taken in Tim Peake's adventures. The videos that he has produced and put on YouTube have enthralled her for the past six months - on a weekly basis," says Emma Palmer, from Essex.

His full report from the day will be on the main evening news tonight on BBC One at 22:15 BST.
Living in microgravity can have all kinds of strange effects on the human body. But in this exclusive video for the BBC, Tim describes an unusual one, which affects the soles of his feet.
While we wait for the media conference coming up later this afternoon, watch some of the highlights from Tim Peake's 186 days in orbit.

They're in the air
We're hearing that the helicopters to bring the crew back to Karagandy have now taken off. It's a near two-hour flight.
Where did you watch?
A huge crowd gathered at the National Space Centre in Leicester this morning to watch the landing on the big screen. They had quite a time by all accounts.
"Every moment throughout his journey, we've been following him here," the visitor attraction's Dr Tamela Maciel said. "We've been amazed by the response."
