Thousands welcome home triumphant Seasiders

AROUND 60,000 people lined Blackpool Promenade to welcome home their victorious Premiership heroes.

There was pandemonium on the streets as an army of tangerine-clad fans cheered Ian Holloway's men as they rode through town on an open top bus. The winning players displayed their Play-off trophy and shared the moment with their families, with many wives and children also on board.
At Waterloo headlands a presentation ceremony followed with Holloway leading the chanting."This is the most unbelievable moment of my life," he said."This is for you fans." (Blackpool Gazette)
