Ending a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy deserves an official party.

Newcastle threw one on Saturday when they hold an open-top bus parade to celebrate their Carabao Cup title.

More than 150,000 fans are expected to join the celebration. The parade route runs from St. James’ Park, through the city centre and ends at the Town Moor, an open space where a stage has been erected for an hour-long event that will include comments from players and a trophy lift.

The Saudi Arabia-backed team beat Liverpool 2-1 nearly two weeks ago at Wembley Stadium for their first major domestic trophy since the FA Cup in 1955. The club also won the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup — a European competition — in 1969.

The bus set off from the stadium at around 4:30 p.m. local time.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has been awarded the ” Freedom of the City.” Club figures who have also received the recognition include Alan Shearer, Bobby Robson and Shaka Hislop.
