It’s the first time Pools have been promoted in 14 years and the celebration was marked in style with an open top parade bus around Hartlepool on Friday, June 25.
Fans and residents cheered on the players as the procession set off from Coronation Drive, in Seaton Carew and visited all 12 council wards before finishing its tour in Truro Drive.
Take a look at these cheerful photos of Pools fans celebrating.
