This was the scene a short time ago outside Elland Road as supporters celebrated their side's promotion to the Premier League:
Charlton are relegated back to League One after one season in the Championship after they fall to a heavy final day defeat at champions Leeds.

This is the first time in 28 years Leeds United have won silverware.
And they're in the Premier League with this one.

Read MoreAfter 45 games and a season which started way back on 2 August Yorkshire's Championship sides will play their final games tonight - with two still fighting for survival and another set to lift the trophy.
Leeds were prompted and declared champions last weekend before even kicking a ball, meaning tonight's game against relegation-fighting Charlton is just a formality for them.
But they'll want to end their 16-year hiatus from the Premier League with a bang before they lift the trophy on the Elland Road pitch tonight.
Meanwhile,in the relegation battle, Wigan, who are 13th in the table and on 58 points, face a 12-point deduction for entering administration - having big implications on two Yorkshire sides.
Hull City can only stay up if they win, Barnsley fail to win, Charlton and Luton both lose and the Tigers also make up a 16-goal swing in goal difference over the Addicks. In effect, they are relying on Wigan losing or drawing and then losing their appeal against the points deduction.
Barnsley, like Hull, must also win to have any chance of staying up and hope Charlton lose and Luton fail to win. If Charlton draw Barnsley would need to beat Brentford by 10 goals to go above the Addicks.
Managerless Huddersfield Town are as good as safe because it would take the Terriers losing and a goal difference swing of 14 to see Luton go above them. And that, of course, assumes all the other teams get the results they need to catch them.
Angus Kinnear says people's health is more important than Championship trophy celebrations.

"We wanted to show our appreciation by ensuring fans remember the good times until we’re all able to enjoy live music together again.”

A restaurant where people were seen partying during the lockdown should lose its licence, police have said.
The Capri@TheVine, on Leeds Road, Wakefield, was given an on-the-spot fine of £100 after more than 20 people were seen partying outside on 25 May.
Wakefield Council's licensing committee will consider any punitive measures, including revoking its licence to sell alcohol, at a hearing in August.
PC Jonathan Kaye wrote, in a submission to the licensing committee, external, that people were seen outside the restaurant consuming alcohol in a "blatant" breach of lockdown rules.
"A DJ was operating and several members of staff from the premises were present serving and waiting on customers," he said.
The premises owner, Mohammed Karimi, was spoken to by the police and claimed the gathering had resulted from an offer he made on social media which had got out-of-hand.
The restaurant has been approached for comment.
A street in Leeds has been renamed after the manager of Leeds United, following the team's promotion to the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa Way connects Trinity Leeds shopping centre to Commercial Street in the city’s shopping district,
Trinity Leeds is also temporarily changing its name to Trinity Leeds United for the rest of the month to celebrate Leeds’ return to top-flight football.
David Maddison (pictured), Centre Director of Trinity Leeds United, said: “The speed at which the manager's turned around the fortunes of the team and the manner in which he’s done it – the Bielsa way – deserves all the plaudits. We're delighted to rename this street Marcelo Bielsa Way."
Tonnes of rock and stone are being moved into place in part of South Yorkshire in a bid to protect homes and businesses from flooding after a landslip last year.
The embankment, which separates the River Don and the South Yorkshire Navigation canal at Mile Thorn, in the Wheatley Park area of Doncaster, was damaged in November.
The earth slipped, risking a total collapse of the bank if left unrepaired.
Now, £1.6m work is taking place to repair the bank, with rock bags being brought in to shore up the defences.
It's part of a £32m package of repair work from the Environment Agency (EA) to fix issues across Yorkshire.
Tony Hartley, from the EA, said: “This work is a significant repair job in difficult conditions, which will help strengthen this flood defence bank and reduce the risk of flooding to the local area."
The work is expected to be finished by August, he added.
This unusual sight has been spotted swimming and diving in the River Ouse, near York:
Iain Armstrong, who took this film, spotted the seal at Naburn Lock, six miles south of York, on Saturday.
He said: "Eight years on the Ouse at York and this is the first seal I’ve seen."
And it seems Iain was very lucky to see it. According to The Angling Trust, seeing a seal in freshwater is rare, but not unheard of.
The trust says: "Seals may spend several days at sea, but will also swim some distance upstream into freshwater in large rivers.
"They are known to frequent a number of the UK’s rivers, including Yorkshire's Ouse."
This one certainly looks happy enough with the river's plentiful supply of fish all to itself.
Officers will do "everything we can" to stop organised crime groups terrorising communities after millions of pounds of drugs were recovered during a week of action, according to South Yorkshire Police.
Guns and cash were seized along with £3m of cannabis (pictured below), heroin and crack cocaine during a raids against groups intent on "doing harm to our communities", the force says.
Temporary Supt Ian Proffitt said his team works day-to-day making arrests and disrupting the groups, with almost 100 people being arrested last week.
He said: "We are well equipped in South Yorkshire Police to deal with organised crime groups, to deal with people supplying drugs, and to deal with people who do the most harm to our communities.
"We'll do everything we can to keep the community safe, make arrests and recover drugs and guns."
He added the recent lockdown has meant people who might normally be at work in city centre offices have been noticing criminals going about their business near their homes and have reported it to the police, who then make arrests or raid properties for drugs.
He said: "What we hope to achieve is that continues as we gradually move out of lockdown. People see the results we've achieved last week, people understand this is what we do all the time, day-to-day, that they will continue to drive our activities to keep their communities safe by providing us with information and intelligence."

A "significant fall in fundraising" caused by coronavirus could put projects at a South Yorkshire children's hospital in jeopardy, a charity has said.
The Children's Hospital Charity, which raises funds for Sheffield Children's Hospital, said its fundraising was set to fall by £2.5m.
It said large fundraising events had been postponed during the pandemic.
Plans for the hospital included a renewal of its emergency department and a new cancer and leukaemia ward.
There were also plans to build a helipad on its roof, as children arriving by air ambulance currently have to be taken across a busy road from a nearby park.
The Children's Hospital Charity said: "The coronavirus pandemic has caused a significant fall in fundraising, leaving the timeline for the remaining projects in doubt."
The charity said the emergency department was built to see 32,000 children annually, but now sees more than 58,000 youngsters from South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
