Newcastle United fans are gathering across Tyneside today for a historic trophy parade celebrating the club's Carabao Cup triumph.

Tens of thousands of supporters are expected to line the streets of Newcastle as the team showcases their hard-earned trophy.
The celebrations mark a momentous occasion for the proud footballing city.
