The route for Lincoln City's open-top bus parade to celebrate winning the League One title and earning promotion has been confirmed.

Players will tour the city with the league trophy on Saturday 9 May, with supporters invited to line the streets and join in the celebrations.

The bus is due to leave High Street, at the junction with South Park Avenue, at 14:30 BST, before travelling along Tentercroft Street.

It will pass through the city centre via St Mary's Street, Wigford Way and Silver Street. It will also loop around Lincoln Cathedral, before travelling along Newport and Riseholme Road. The parade will conclude at the Lincoln Imp pub at about 16:00 BST, the club said.

The club said it was expecting a large crowd and urged fans to arrive early and cover the whole route.

It also asked supporters to use public transport wherever possible as car parks were expected to be busy.

The Imps clinched the title with a 2-0 win against Doncaster Rovers last week, and will play in the Championship next season.
