As the buzz continues in Ipswich days after the Blues secured Premier League promotion, Monday brought thousands of fans together to celebrate their team's success.
Fans travelled from across Suffolk to share in a piece of club history as the players and staff made their way through the town on an open top bus.
Monday was a special day for fans of all ages, with many seeing their club secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their lifetime or the long wait end after 22 years away from the top flight.
The carriages on the 'Portman Road Express' from Lowestoft were fully packed by Woodbridge as fans shared chants, stories and laughs as they made their way in for the promotion parade.

Among the group as Paul Laughland, Shane Davey, Ben Gooch, Caz Wells and her wife Gillian Bailey.
Mr Gooch was among a generation of fans not even born when Town were last in the Premier League and joined the throng that dashed onto the pitch at the final whistle at Portman Road.
The fan, who sits in the Sir Bobby Robson stand, said: "For my dad, my graddad, it was a special moment with my dad sitting next to him."
Mr Davey said celebrating with family was special but also marking the moment with his "football family".
He said: "You share it with people that you've built relationships with sitting next, we have all being through the highs and the lows. We will never forget the bad years but they are just a memory."
Mrs Bailey added: "The bad times make it all worthwhile to go through this elation."
Father and daughter Jamie Smith and six-year-old Erin were also on the train down to join in the celebrations.
Mr Smith made the journey to watch the Blues play Hull City and Coventry City before watching their heroes secure promotion on Saturday.
He said: "It means so much. Erin's six and has never seen Ipswich be so successful. I have told her it isn't always like this."
As fans left the train to work out where on the route they would position themselves, the Cornhill in the town centre was filling up with fans waving flags.
Crown Street was bringing the noise early doors with horns sounding for hours before the parade began.
Many had arrived early to claim their place, including members of the De-Moore and Ruddock family who travelled in from Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket ahead of the parade.
Made of three generations of family, Charlie and Alex De-Moore with their daughter Thea, four, as well as Mrs De-Moore's brother James Ruddock and mum Julie Ruddock were waving their flags proudly.
Mrs De-Moore said: "You cannot say you live in Suffolk and not be really proud of the team and what Kieran McKenna has achieved, back to back promotions is absolutely unbelievable. The whole family are Ipswich Town fans.
"It's amazing standing here seeing everyone, it's great for the town."
The family had attended Ipswich Town Women's game on Sunday as four-year-old Thea's favourite players are Natasha Thomas and Sophie Peskett.
