Newcastle, England - Tens of thousands of Newcastle United fans gathered in the city on Saturday to celebrate the club's first domestic trophy in 70 years, as the streets transformed into a sea of black and white for the open-top bus parade. Approximately 150,000 people attended the celebration after Newcastle secured the League Cup on March 16, defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the final at Wembley Stadium.
The event was an emotional occasion for manager Eddie Howe, who expressed his gratitude when the city honored him with a giant banner unfurled outside St James' Park. "I can't thank everyone enough, from Newcastle, the way they've embraced me and my family and I'm glad to have given them some joy," Howe remarked atop the bus that transported the team through the city.
As the parade progressed to the Town Moor site, the atmosphere intensified with the release of white smoke, while the jubilant crowd sang a modified version of 'Hey Jude,' replacing 'Jude' with 'Geordies.' Festive ABBA music reverberated throughout the streets, setting the mood for what was anticipated to be a lengthy celebration into the night.
The joyful scenes that unfolded in Newcastle reflect a significant moment in the history of the club, encapsulating the passion and devotion of its supporters who have waited decades for such a triumph. For more on this celebration, visit CNA, TRT, and Reuters.
