MAN CITY celebrated their Premier League success with an open-top bus parade through Manchester this evening.

Fans paved the streets to catch a glimpse of their heroes as City travelled round to the tune of The Beatles classic Hey Jude.
Roberto Mancini’s men won the title in the most dramatic of circumstances with two injury-time goals to beat QPR 3-2 on the final day of the season.
Rivals Man Utd thought they had clinched the crown after beating Sunderland 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, with City losing 2-1 by the time the final whistle blew on Wearside.
But substitute Edin Dzeko’s header levelled things up with 92 minutes played, before Sergio Aguero scored a stunning goal to steal victory with seconds to spare.
It was City’s first top-flight title for 44 years – their last coming in 1968.
