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.
