The first photos are in as Crystal Palace FC parade their FA Cup trophy through Croydon. It comes after The Eagles beat Man City 1-0 last Saturday (May 17), securing their first ever major piece of silverware.
The parade started at 12.45pm on Norwood's Whitehorse Lane and at 1.45pm fans entered Selhurst Park with stadium event beginning at 2.15pm. Photos show fans - young and old - waving flags and holding signs whilst the players smiled and waved off the tour bus.
Fan Chris told MyLondon: "The streets around Selhurst Park were a sea of red and blue. Crowds so deep that countless people could only get as close as the side roads with barely a chance of seeing the bus pass, but nobody cared.
"It was all a celebration. Fans were hanging out windows, climbing on top of walls and young children sat on shoulders to cheer on the team as the bus approached."
