Fans of Leicester City celebrated the club's promotion to the Premier League by lining the streets for an open top bus parade.

The Foxes secured the top spot in the Championship with an away win at Preston North End on Monday.

Crowds gathered near the Clock Tower on Sunday ahead of the parade which travelled through the city centre.

The club said it wanted to thank supporters by staging an "unforgettable" occasion.

Big screens and music were also organised as part of the "Straight Back Up" celebration, with scenes similar to parades held to mark the club's previous return to the top flight in 2014 and the Premier League title win in 2016.
