Overview
- The open-top bus parade in York on Thursday followed a set route from St Leonard's Place to the Eye of York and drew thousands of fans.
- North Yorkshire Police first refused the proposal on safety grounds, then talks with City of York Council and the club produced an agreement for it to proceed.
- The council set road closures, urged people not to drive into the city, and banned flares, pyrotechnics and drones along the route.
- York Outer MP Luke Charters welcomed the go-ahead and said he worked with the club and local partners to help make the celebration possible.
- The celebration marked a return to the Football League after a decade away, secured by Josh Stones' 103rd-minute equaliser at Rochdale on April 25 after a pitch invasion forced a restart.
