You came in your thousands to sing, cheer and wave as a triumphant GTFC team arrived at Grimsby Town Hall.

“Well done to the Club, well done to everyone involved, and well done to all the supporters – you all deserve credit,” said Cllr Beasant in his speech during the Town Hall Civic Reception.

Here’s just a selection of pictures from the evening:
