Aberdeen city centre was a sea of red on Sunday afternoon as more than 100,000 people lined the streets to welcome Aberdeen FC home with the Scottish Cup.
The Dons beat all the odds to topple Celtic at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Saturday and win the Scottish Cup for the first time in 35 years.
More than 20,000 Reds supporters travelled down to Glasgow to watch history being made, and over 100,000 descended on Aberdeen city centre on Sunday as the team celebrated with an open-top bus parade towards the Town House where the trophy was shown off on a balcony.
Dons diehards who hadn't been home since Saturday morning were joined by families, youngsters, grandparents and bemused tourists as the Granite City became one massive street party.

Gospel singers were filmed joining in with their own take on "Aberdeen allez allez allez" as the joy and party mood spread across the entire North-east.
Youngsters clambered on top bus shelters and scaled statues to get the best possible view of their heroes.
Shops, offices, restaurants and pubs across the region decked out their premises with red and white themes and window displays for the whole week leading up to the cup final, and these only added to the occasion during the parade.

Pubs and nightclubs will have enjoyed a roaring trade over the 48 hours as the pints poured nonstop and usual "no football colours" rules were suspended.
It's a weekend which will go down and history and live long in the memory of everyone lucky enough to have enjoyed it, with football and the Dons uniting the city like never before.
Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Dr David Cameron: “The Dons supporters created a fantastic atmosphere as the bus slowly made its way through the city centre – the streets were turned into a sea of red and white.
“The fans were singing and playing drums and, along with the pipe band, made the event into something very special for everyone.
“It was a fantastic and emotional occasion and a very fitting way to mark the Dons winning the Scottish Cup.”
The Lord Provost also praised fans’ behaviour as the event was very family-friendly with supporters of all ages turned out in the Aberdeen sunshine.
If you'd like to experience your own open-top bus parade, and learn a thing or two about the history and culture of the city in the process, the Aberdeen Adventurer is taking over from the Dons' winners' bus and offering engaging and informing hop-on hop-off tours of the Granite City all summer.
