Bournemouth have celebrated their Championship title with an open-top bus parade in front of tens of thousands of supporters.

The club effectively secured promotion to the Premier League with a 3-0 win at home to Bolton last week, before ensuring top spot in the division with another 3-0 victory, at Charlton, on Saturday.
