Hundreds of thousands of joyous Newcastle United fans gathered in the city to celebrate the team’s Carabao Cup victory over Liverpool.
The win marked the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years, with the streets turning into a sea of black and white for an open-top bus parade.
It was estimated ahead of the event that as many as 150,000 fans were due to line the streets for the parade.
An estimated 150,000 fans then gathered at the park Town Moor for a ticketed event, which saw players gather on stage to lift the trophy, recreating what they did at London‘s Wembley Stadium nearly two weeks ago on 16 March.
For manager Eddie Howe, Saturday’s event was an emotional moment as the city honoured him with a massive banner, unfurled outside St James’ Park – the team’s home stadium.
