Junior football champions celebrate with open-top bus parade

A primary school football team enjoyed an open-top bus tour around their home town in Essex after winning a national competition.

Buttsbury Juniors under-12 boys team won the Danone Nations Cup, the world's largest competition for players aged 10 to 12, seeing off more than 1,500 other sides.
