Norwich City's Premier League promotion party quickly hit a snag as the bus that was carrying the team for the parade broke down, forcing them to find a replacement.
The bus was designed to celebrate their Championship success and emblazoned with the phrase "We Are Premier League."

Eventually, players had to disembark and boarded a red sight-seeing bus after attempts to re-start the vehicle proved unsuccessful.

It did little to spoil the party, as manager Daniel Farke emotionally reflected on their achievement:
I have no words. It's really outstanding what this club and these supporters and this place has achieved during this season. All words are right. So world class, special, unique, extraordinary. We are all unbelievably proud.
The celebration carried on into the afternoon, with a tribute match at Carrow Road taking place to honour Wesley Hoolahan and Russell Martin.
