Sheffield United Promotion Tour on open top bus

Celebrating Sheffield United FC promotion to the Premiership for the 2006/2007 Season saw a massive civic parade through the streets of Sheffield on our open top London Bus. The team players used 2 open top buses (a 3rd modern bus broke down en-route) including our red 1949 vintage London Bus as the main team bus at the head of the parade.

The usual Champagne flags were replaced with banners to celebrate the promotion of the Blades to the Premiership.
