Champions paint town blue

Captain Vincent Kompany promised supporters more silverware as Manchester City took to the streets to parade the Premier League trophy and Capital One Cup yesterday.

Thousands of supporters filled Manchester’s Albert Square and then lined surrounding streets as the team began an open-top bus tour from outside the town hall.

Fans relived City’s season of glory, which was completed on Sunday as they beat West Ham to clinch the title, thanks to big-screen replays before players addressed the crowd and then boarded the bus.
