Ipswich turned blue today as thousands of fans gathered on the streets of the town to celebrate Ipswich Town Football Club's promotion to the Premier League. 

The Blues gained automatic promotion after beating Huddersfield 2-0 at Portman Road on Saturday, May 4, sealing their first return to the Premier League since 2002. 

Thousands of fans flocked to the town on Monday to celebrate the promotion with a parade. 

Open-top buses carrying the players and staff made their way from Sir Alf Ramsey Way to Christchurch Park.
