"I'll never forget these days," an emotional Kayden Jackson tells BBC Radio Suffolk.

The 30-year-old forward has been at Ipswich for almost six years and has made 81 appearances under Kieran McKenna over the past two seasons to help Town to back-to-back promotions.

"If he asked me to run through a brick wall, I'd do it for him in a heartbeat," he says.

"It's not lost on me what could have happened if I'd gone elsewhere on the back of what was a miserable time at the club and I'm just happy to be here with the boss to experience everything we've experienced in the last two years."

The buses are now being followed by an army of fans as they make their way to Christchurch Park.

Here's the view from the BBC Suffolk kitchen window.

Eighteen month old Rory Baker was none too happy at having to stop an impromptu game of football with dad Charlie as they waited for the parade to arrive.

"He's seen better Ipswich football in the last few months than I've seen in the whole of my life - he's very lucky, but he doesn't know it yet," joked Charlie.

"People say to me 'is he going to be an Ipswich fan?' - he has to be an Ipswich fan. I've been coming with my Dad for 22 years and I needed to bring him here [today]."

He added: "I was on a stag-do and so devastated not to be here [on Saturday]. I knew exactly what was going on, don't worry about that."

The emotion from homegrown talent Harry Clarke, left, has been clear for all to see since he rejoined Town from Arsenal last year.

He's ready for one more celebration, pictured here with midfielder Marcus Harness on the way to Portman Road from the training ground.

Some of the crowd have just been covered in beer from one of the two buses, as they make their way past Portman Road.

There was just enough time for some last-minute autograph signing and selfies with fans as the players boarded the parade bus at their training ground on Playford Road, on the north-east edge of Ipswich.

As we write this live page from the BBC Suffolk building on the St Matthew's Street roundabout, we can hear the noise through our open window...

Davin and Kirsty Gee are such huge Town fans, they even had an Ipswich-themed wedding.

They were at the ground after Ipswich went up to the Premier League in 2000 and now they've brought their children Rosie and Holly, aged 4 and 2, along to join the latest promotion party.

"We met through the football - we saw each other, smiled. At the wedding we had a Matt Holland table, Micky Stockwell, Shefki [Kuqi], all the old players," said Kirsty, 37.

"We had to bring them down here to experience what we did 24 years ago."

When they woke up this morning, Cassius and Ariana had no idea they'd be spending part of their Bank Holiday Monday watching the Ipswich parade - but as big Town fans, their Nan didn't want them to miss out.

"It was a big surprise. Our Nan picked up and we were told we were coming to see them," they said.

So who are their favourite players? "We want to see Wes Burns and Sam Morsy."

Leo, 10, is hoping there might be a chance to get his Ipswich shirt signed by some of the players during the parade.

He has come along with dad Andy and elder brother Oscar, 12, who said: "It's absolutely unbelievable to see this happening to Ipswich again - 22 years of hurt, we've been through a lot of dark times but Kieran McKenna has been absolutely magical for this club.

"It's so great to see Ipswich back where we belong, in the Prem. It's great for the town as well to be back in this position."

Andy added: "Ipswich have come from the doldrums to Premier League status. So much credit to Kieran McKenna, the board, the investors, the CEO - it's a generational moment, I would say."

Here's how things are looking on the players' bus, with medals on show and drinks flowing. Jack Taylor looks very happy.

Defender Cameron Burgess, whose goal against Coventry last week gave Town a vital 2-1 victory, said he has been loving life since Saturday's victory.

"It's been a whirlwind, but I can't wipe the smile off my face," he said ahead of the parade.

"I've been beeped at a million times on the dog walk this morning."

Burgess said he was looking forward to celebrating with fans, and catching up with his team-mates.

"The boys have been out enjoying themselves so we'll catch up today. Everyone's delighted. It's a special place."

"It's going to be an enjoyable day today and I'm looking forward to celebrating with the fans."

"I didn't think we'd get this far, but we've managed to do it," said Trevor Willard, 76, who is in position at Christchurch Park, just north of the town centre.

"It makes me feel very proud. We didn't spend a lot of money, and we're there."

We caught up with Cameron Burgess, George Hirst, Ali Al-Hamadi and Marcus Harness ahead of the parade.

Burgess said: "It's been a whirlwind. It's a special moment. Can't wipe the smile off my face, to be fair."

Jason Dozzell was part of the Ipswich squad who won the old Second Division title under former West Ham boss John Lyall in 1992 - getting Ipswich to the top flight in time for the formation of the Premier League.

He's found himself a good vantage point in Electric House to watch today's celebrations.
