That brings an end to our live coverage.

We'll leave the final word to fan Joanne Stuckey, who sums it up: "Nothing beats this - we got down, we stayed down, but we got up.

"Everyone's been really positive, everyone's singing and chanting, and everyone's happy.

"Luton Town are on the rise - we're going up!"

"History maker" Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, the only player to go from non-league to Premier League with the same club, is given a rapturous welcome.

"Who do you want to play you in Pelly Ruddock: The movie?" asks BBC Three Counties' Justin Dealey.

"Someone young," he replies.

He's been partying, shall we say, and admits rather sheepishly that he was late for the team bus.

Grace, nine, and eight-year-old Zachary, from Chantry Primary in Luton managed to get their hands on the trophy before it was taken on to the stage.

"I feel so alone, I feel so uncomfortable," says head coach Rob Edwards before launching into a rendition of Bon Jovi's Always.

After celebrating promotion, he will soon have to start planning to take on the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.

"Anyone and everyone, let's bring them all on. Let's make The Kenny really special, really loud.

"We've got 19 [home] Premier League fixtures, let's make the most of them. It's going to be great."

Luton chairman David Wilkinson believes the achievement of reaching the Premier League might not fully sink in until the fixtures for next season come out.

He has been chairman since 2018, when the club were in League Two and has seen three promotions since then.

"I've been coming to Kenilworth Road for 65 years. I think the board have got over 300 years of supporting the club [between them]," he says.

"We're Luton people, that's what we care about and this is another part of the journey."

"The impact of being in the Premier League will be massive for this town," Hatters chief executive Gary Sweet tells the crowd.

"This could be a life-changing opportunity for us, but from a character point of view, don't change. Let's still be us, still grounded. Let's keep humble."

Sweet now has to oversee redevelopment work at Kenilworth Road in time for next season, prior to the planned move to a new 23,000-seater stadium at Power Court in 2024-25.

Events have been paused on a few occasions as those on the elevated main stage have spotted someone in the crowd in need of assistance.

Medical teams are on site and are shown where they are needed to go.

It's warm out there and many people will have been on their feet for hours.

There are chants of "Nakamba!" to the tune of Tequila by The Champs as midfielder Marvelous is ushered centre stage.

He's been a fan favourite since he came in on loan from Aston Villa, so will he stay on with the Hatters?

"Hopefully," he replies.

"To be part of this, the club, the history, I feel so happy."

Marvelous Nakamba is a wonderful human being, the crowd is told, having helped build schools and houses in Zimbabwe.

Thousands chant back: "We want you to stay, Marvelous Nakamba."

Before arriving at St George's Square, there was a roar from the bus and it was the sound of midfielder Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu's dreams coming true.

"He wanted some KFC so someone has just been lifted up to pass Pelly his KFC," explains goalkeeper Jack Walton.

"What he's done for the club, what wants, he gets.

"He's been a legend to the club, a great servant, and the fans love him as well."

Luton head coach Rob Edwards exhorts the crowd to "make some noise" as he steps forward to celebrate his second successive promotion, having tasted success with Forest Green Rovers in League Two last season.

"It's for you, it's for the Luton people, it's for the town, it's for the players, who deserve it, the backroom staff who have worked so hard, the board, we've got to enjoy this moment," he says.

"We've finally made it to the Premier League.

To all the fans that have come out - enjoy today, enjoy tomorrow, enjoy Wednesday, enjoy Thursday, enjoy Friday, enjoy Saturday, enjoy the whole summer because there's going to be a party in Luton, boy," he shouts.

Captain Tom Lockyer may not be with his team mates on stage but the fans are chanting his name.

There's a lot of love for him in St George's Square and it feels like he's part of today's celebrations.

Lockyer is recovering after collapsing during the early stages Luton's historic win over Coventry City on Saturday.

Carlton Morris, who has scored 20 goals this season, is to miss the team's celebratory trip to Las Vegas this week because his fiancee is due to give birth.

But he's loving every minute of today.

"It's breathtaking," he says.

"I've got the same feeling now as I did standing to take that penalty.

"It's incredible the turnout today - I know these people work so hard to come out and see us on a Saturday.

"For us to give back thanks today and see them line the streets today is incredible."
