The 27 breathtaking photos as Newcastle United lift Carabao Cup on 300,000-packed Town Moor

It was a black and white party, 70 years in the making. Today, the city of Newcastle came together as one to celebrate its proud football club’s success.

Just under a fortnight ago, Eddie Howe and his players made history by becoming the first Newcastle United team to win a trophy since 1969 after beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final. It also marked the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

And they were given a heroes welcome on their first public outing since that famous day at Wembley.

The day started with an open-top bus parade, passing past the STACK towards Eldon Square and up Percy Street and Great North Road before arriving on the Town Moor at 5pm. Tens of thousands of supporters lined the streets.

Around 90 minutes later, after the 150,000-estimated crowd heard from special guests such as Ant and Dec, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand and Bob Moncur, Howe and his players made their onto the stage.

And the trophy was lifted aloft like it was 13 days ago at Wembley - and NewcastleWorld were there to caption it all. Check out the stunning photos in our gallery below:
