Harrogate have celebrated promotion to the English Football League for the first time in their 106-year history with an open-top bus parade.

Town will begin life as a Sky Bet League Two club next season after beating Notts County at Wembley last weekend in the National League play-off final.

The North Yorkshire club’s players and management team set off through the town centre streets on Saturday lunch-time and were given a rousing reception.

A new all-seater stand to bring the stadium’s capacity up to 5,000 is close to completion and the floodlights are also being upgraded.

The work will not be completed until October and the new League Two season is scheduled to start on September 12.
