00:00
A party on Tyneside, decades in the making.
00:07
Around 300,000 Newcastle United supporters took to either the city streets or the Town
00:13
Moor as the club paraded the Carabao Cup just two weeks after the triumph at Wembley.
00:22
The open-top bus route took the players, staff and trophy from St James' Park to the Town
00:28
Moor on what was a momentous day.
00:58
And you can see all the players, Jason Tindall there, Dan Byrne, Eddie Howe and the Cup all
01:09
going by.
01:10
What a scene.
01:11
Hundreds of thousands of the Town Moor ahead of me as well.
01:14
It's bedlam here.
01:16
Scenes like this have not been seen in Newcastle for so, so long and the city are absolutely
01:20
loving it.
01:28
Local flags had been busy earlier on in the day, making sure that the city was ready to
01:33
welcome its heroes.
01:34
And, even with hours before the parade, a sense of anticipation was in the air as the
01:40
crowds began to develop up parts of St James' Park.
01:46
We got absolutely buzzing there, absolutely buzzing, I can't wait.
01:49
Watch the parade here, hopefully catch the first bit and head over straight to Top Rock.
01:54
Those who had opted to head straight for the Town Moor were busy reliving the final.
01:58
It's amazing.
01:59
I like to see all the events and the atmosphere, I get to relive it a little bit which is nice.
02:08
By this point, the bus parade was approaching the Moor and the crowds there were continuing
02:13
to grow as former players including Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer took to the stage to answer
02:20
questions about the victory.
02:23
Head coach Eddie Howe and some of his players were in disbelief at the scenes they had witnessed.
02:28
That was amazing, absolutely incredible.
02:30
Big thank you to all the people in Newcastle for coming out, braving the weather and supporting
02:35
us and waiting that long to see us.
02:38
An amazing day and just shows the passion because there was just a willingness from
02:41
the people to celebrate and a real want and a lot of emotion as well and I think we felt
02:45
that in the aftermath of the game against Liverpool, that emotion is still there and
02:50
I think today is a great way for us all to come together as a city.
02:53
Today I've been quite emotional, I've been trying to compose myself every so often when
02:57
I looked in the crowd and there was someone crying, it was making me cry so it's nice
03:01
to feel something anyway and I knew that was going to be amazing, there was going to be
03:05
a lot of fans there but I don't think anything could have prepared us for that so it was
03:09
possible.
03:10
It was surreal, it was unbelievable, I can't really put it into words, I think you just
03:14
have to look at the videos and see how happy I was on top of that bus just smiling, chanting
03:18
with the fans, yeah it was unbelievable.
03:21
Once on stage, the players lifted the cup before Alexander Isaac showed off his best
03:26
geordie.
03:27
Are you walking?
03:28
Well, we've just had the players on stage there behind me, lifting the Carabao Cup trophy
03:39
for the first time since they were at Wembley a couple of weeks ago, then Anton Dek interviewed
03:44
a few of the players who played in that match, including the two first scores, Alexander Isaac
03:48
and Dan Bird, as well as speaking to Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall and these will be memories
03:53
that no-one in this crowd will forget for the rest of their life.
03:57
We're now waiting for the Salah Jordan display to set the light on the skies after this as
04:02
well.
04:03
Did you enjoy that?
04:04
Yeah, definitely.
04:05
Who's your favourite player?
04:06
Isaac.
04:07
And will that be the first trophy, do you think they'll win a lot more in the future?
04:11
Of course, they'll win a lot.
04:13
They'll win loads.
04:14
I mean, it's been such a long 60 days, I've been a season ticket holder, but it's been
04:21
tremendous.
04:22
I mean, I can't even think.
04:25
And with that, the drones took flight, recreating Dan Bird's header and then Alexander Isaac's
04:31
strike from the Wembley win.
04:33
If anyone needed a reminder just what this cup meant to Newcastle, this day was it.
04:41
Today, it's been something amazing.
