Aston Villa fans turned out in their thousands on Thursday to celebrate the English side's Europa League final triumph -- their first silverware in 30 years.
Supporters decked out in the club's claret and blue colours waved flags and let off flares as they lined the streets of Birmingham to watch their heroes parade the trophy.
They cheered and chanted as the players, medals hanging around their necks, made their way by open-top bus from the club's ground to Centenary Square in the city centre, where an estimated 23,000 fans had gathered.
