Details of a bus parade to celebrate York City's promotion to the English Football League (EFL) have been confirmed by the council and football club.
The parade was originally due to take place last Tuesday but was postponed because of safety concerns raised by City of York Council and North Yorkshire Police.
At a promotion party the following day, co-owner Julie-Anne Uggla told thousands of fans gathered at the LNER Community Stadium that a bus parade would take place on Thursday 7 May.
The City of York Council said the event would start at 19:00 BST on Thursday and is expected to last approximately 30 minutes.
Why is it happening?
York City earned automatic promotion into League Two after winning the National League.
Victory was sealed during a dramatic 1-1 draw at Rochdale, both clubs having won more than 100 points during the season.
The equaliser was scored in the 103rd minute, meaning York returned to the EFL for the first time in ten years.
Where can I see the bus parade?
The parade route starts on St Leonard's Place, outside the York Art Gallery.
It will then head down Museum Street and Station Road, crossing the River Ouse before turning down Rougier Street and George Hudson Street.
The bus will return to the north of the river on Bridge Street, before turning down Clifford Street and finishing at the Eye of York.
