More than 50,000 people turned out to celebrate in Coventry’s War Memorial Park as the Sky Blues celebrated winning the Championship title.
Thousands more lined the streets as the team showed off the trophy having claimed the top spot 11 points ahead of Ipswich.
It means the club will return to the Premier League next season after a 25-year absence.
Speaking to BBC Radio CWR, club chairman Doug King said Monday’s celebrations summed up why he had bought the club
“This was my day today… this is why I did it. It was massive,” he said.
“It’s been bigger than I thought it would be.”
Singer Tom Grennan said he “fell in love” with Coventry City when he first went to watch them 10 years ago.
“This city has taken me in and called me one of their own, and it doesn’t ever get better than that. Every time I’m down here I feel like I’m from Cov,” he said.
Addressing the crowd at a raucous War Memorial Park, Sky Blues coach Frank Lampard said the turnout and the fans’ response had been “amazing” and it had meant a lot to him and all the players.
