Tens Of Thousands Celebrate Burnley’s Championship Title Win

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.
