In pictures: Hundreds of Pools fans celebrate club's promotion and cheer on bus parade

Hartlepool United fans were out in force to pay tribute to their team as an open top bus travelled around the town 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.

It’s the first time Pools have been promoted in 14 years – and it truly was an evening of joy and celebration for fans, friends and players alike.
