Tens of thousands of football fans have lined the streets of Burnley to celebrate their side winning the Championship. Manager Vincent Kompany and the players rode in an open-top bus parade through the town to their Turf Moor ground.
The Clarets clinched the title and promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 away win against Blackburn Rovers in the east Lancashire derby. Newly crowned King Charles III has said in the past that he is a Burnley fan.
Former NFL star JJ Watt, who has just invested in the club as a minority shareholder, and his wife Kealia, who is an ex-USA football international, also joined the parade. The team enjoyed a civic reception before the open-top bus parade.
