Hundreds of thousands of supporters flooded into Newcastle to celebrate the football club's historic cup win.

Newcastle United won the Carabao Cup earlier this month, ending its 70-year wait for domestic silverware.

The team travelled on two open-top buses through city centre's streets, which were packed with crowds, to a large celebration on the Town Moor, as crowds of supporters roared them on.

Geordie duo Ant & Dec hosted the celebration, with manager Eddie Howe describing it as a "very emotional day" and club legend Alan Shearer saying: "We could get used to this."

As the crowds gathered, a giant Eddie Howe banner was unveiled near St James' Park
