The Harrogate Town bus passing fans on Wetherby Road today

Thousands of Harrogate Town supporters lined the streets to cheer on their team during a celebratory open-top bus parade today.

The parade was in celebration of the club’s historic 3-1 win over Notts County at Wembley last Sunday, taking them into League Two and the English Football League for the first time in their history.

The open-top bus was provided by Harrogate Bus Company and left a sunny CNG Stadium at Wetherby Road at around 12pm. It continued past the Empress pub, West Park, Bettys and the Cairn Hotel before returning to the ground by 12.40.

At Wetherby Road, there were scores of supporters wearing yellow and black and singing “Town are going up” as the bus passed.

Police were in attendance but the fans were well behaved and largely adhered to social distancing guidelines.

In scenes reminiscent of the UCI cycling event last summer, fans lined West Park to cheer on manager Simon Weaver and his players who showed off their National League play off trophy.
