Newcastle fans took to the streets en masse to celebrate a historic victory in the English League Cup. The "Magpies" claimed their first domestic trophy in 70 years, and to mark the occasion, a grand parade was held in the city on March 29, gathering more than 200,000 jubilant fans.
Numerous fans filled the streets of Newcastle to personally greet their heroes. A bus with the inscription "WINNERS 24/25" started from St. James' Park and headed towards Town Moor, where a ceremonial event took place with club legends, including Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand.
The Magpies' manager Eddie Howe was amazed by the scale of the celebration:
"I didn't know what to expect, but this is just incredible. People are hanging from lampposts and windows. It's amazing!"
Fans, clad in black and white, gathered early in bars and pubs, with some even climbing trees and statues to catch a glimpse of their idols. The evening concluded with a spectacular light show from the club's sponsor.
It was also announced that Eddie Howe will be awarded the city's highest civic honor, the "Freedom of Newcastle," for his contribution to the team's historic success.
