Tens of thousands of Leeds United fans have packed the city centre today for a victory parade celebrating the club's Championship title and return to the Premier League.
The open-top bus carrying Daniel Farke's squad is making its way through a mile-long route in Leeds, with jubilant supporters lining the streets.
The parade comes just two days after Leeds secured the title with a thrilling last-gasp win over Plymouth Argyle.
The parade route takes in the full length of City Square, where fans began gathering as early as 11:00 BST.

From there, the procession continues along Boar Lane to the Corn Exchange, before heading up past the market.
The bus then turns onto The Headrow at Vicar Lane, moving along until reaching the area around the city's Town Hall and art gallery.
Parts of Wellington Street and Vicar Lane are also included in the celebration route.
The bus carrying the team and staff was expected to arrive at City Square at around 13:00 BST, with the entire event scheduled to last approximately 90 minutes.
City Square was one of the main rallying points, with huge crowds anticipated throughout the route.
By 11:00 BST, fans were already filing into the centre of Leeds, with City Square filling up a full two hours before the official start of the parade.
Leeds clinched the Championship title on Saturday with Manor Solomon's dramatic 91st-minute winner against Plymouth Argyle.

Without Solomon's late strike, the title would have gone to Burnley, but the last-gasp goal ensured Leeds lifted the Championship trophy at Plymouth's Home Park.
The south coast city was turned into a sea of white and yellow by ecstatic Leeds fans who had flocked to cheer their team on.
The parade holds special significance for Leeds supporters after the disappointment of last season's play-off final defeat.
It also provides a chance for communal celebration that was denied during their previous promotion due to coronavirus restrictions.

The decibel levels have been described as "ear-shattering" throughout the season.
