Coventry City fans party as Sky Blues enjoy promotion bus parade

Coventry City fans party as Sky Blues enjoy promotion bus parade

After 25 long, long years, including a stint in England's fourth tier, Coventry City are back in the Premier League - and on Bank Holiday Monday they celebrated their return to the elite. More than 50,000 fans filled War Memorial Park after a bus parade through the city. It was 2001 when the club was relegated at Villa Park, with the infamous "we'll be back" sign held aloft within a sea of sky blue - not wrong, just longer than many could have expected. A version of that sign was used on the front of the parade bus, which left Coventry Building Society (CBS) Arena at 13:00 BST, before heading through the city. Many paid tribute to the parade's "incredible" and often raucous atmosphere, complete with vuvuzelas. The bus parade ended in War Memorial Park, with players taking to the stage before Coventry band The Enemy took over. Their song We'll Live and Die in These Towns has been sung loud and proud at every home game, timed to reach the crescendo of the chorus seconds before kick-off. Among those celebrating was singer Tom Grennan, who also performed for fans. "This is one [gig] that I'll look back on and I'll think wow - what a special moment to do this for the city of Coventry,"
