Hundreds of football fans have lined the streets of Bromley, in south-east London, to celebrate their football club’s promotion to League One.
Bromley FC players celebrated the achievement with an open-top bus parade in the town. They were cheered on by supporters along the route on Bromley High Street.
Machel Hewitt, 44, joined the celebrations with his daughter Aurora. He said: “It’s good to see what the club has meant for the borough.
“I remember seeing this club when there weren’t many people that watched them and to see where we are now, where the whole borough wants to come out and celebrate their promotion to League One is great, and it’s what they deserve.”
Simon Elwell was also among supporters. He said: “I’m really excited. Going up to League One is fantastic.”
John Penruddocke, 51, who joined the parade with his wife Orla and daughter Eimear, said: “It’s really exciting to be part of something like this.
“It’s also a little scary how much it takes over your life.
“I was in the States last week, and all I talked about was Bromley FC.”
Fans were able to carry on celebrating after the parade at a promotion party at the CopperJax Community Stadium, which included meet-and-greet opportunities with players as well as autograph signings.
