Thousands of people have lined the centre of Exeter to congratulate the city’s football club on their promotion winning season.
The team finished as League Two runners-up to ensure promotion to League One – the third tier of English football – for the first time since 2012.
On Monday evening [9 May], an open top bus parade was greeted with a sea of red and white as the players and staff slowly made their way from their ground, St James Park, to the historic Guildhall on the High Street.
An open top bus parade and Civic Reception will be held next week to celebrate Exeter City’s promotion to League One.
The parade will begin in Exeter High Street from 6pm on Monday 9 May.
There could be a double celebration if the Grecians win their last home game on Saturday and are crowned League Two champions.

High Street will be closed to traffic for the parade, which will start when two open...
