Truro City Football Club have celebrated their National League South title win by raising the trophy in front of a crowd of cheering fans as part of an open-top bus parade around the city.
The bus carrying the players and club staff left Truro City Stadium and travelled past the train station and along Boscawen Street before arriving outside Truro Cathedral.
The team was then presented with the trophy on the steps of the cathedral.
Truro City FC's assistant manager Stewart Yetton told BBC Radio Cornwall: "I don't think any of us could have believed we were going to win the league this season. This has been my most favourite season in football."

The trophy could not be presented to the team following the game on the last day of the season as there were six possible winners so the presentation was held on Saturday.
Truro City FC's captain Connor Riley-Lowe said the parade had been "magic, unbelievable".
After receiving the trophy, he said: "It is what the club deserves after the last few years.
"We deserve a day like this because we've been through some tough times."
He thanked the young supporters for coming to watch the presentation and said: "The kids can look up to the lads, these kids are the future of football, the future of Cornwall."

Manager John Askey said the victory had still not quite sunk in.
He said: "I could never have envisioned when I started that we were going to do this.
"Today makes everything worthwhile, seeing how much it means to everybody.
"It's a fitting reward for what the players have done this season."
Truro City FC goalkeeper Dan Lavercombe said the team's success was down to everyone involved in the club.
He said: "The management have been great, the staff have been amazing and we've got a great group of lads who all get on and pull together when we need to and I think that goes a long way."
'Whole of Cornwall behind them'

Sully said it has been "a really great" day
Hundreds of spectators lined the route and watched the trophy being raised at Truro Cathedral.
One of them was Brendon from Penzance who said he had watched the winning game.
He said: "It was a brilliant day and great atmosphere."
But he added next season was going to be tough: "I think it's not just Truro, it's the whole support of Cornwall behind them, so fingers crossed we can stay up and build on it."
His eight-year-old son Sully watched the team lift the trophy and said: "It's been a really great, really happy and really nice day."

Truro City are the first football club from Cornwall to win promotion to the National League
Analysis by Ross Ellis, BBC Cornwall Senior Sport Journalist
Nobody thought they could do it and nobody expected it. That sums up Truro City's remarkable season.
Over the course of 46 matches, Truro City transformed from homeless club to promotion heroes.
They went from relegation favourites to National League South champions.
History was made too - they became the first team from Cornwall to reach the National League.
Their season went to the wire. Six teams were in contention to win the title on the final day.
Truro beat St Albans City 5-2 in a thrilling game. It was a result that left supporters joyous, yet stunned.
There's still a lingering sense of disbelief that the Tinners will be playing in the National League next season.
