An open-top bus took players, staff, fans and the club's Hollywood co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, around the city on Tuesday night.

Thousands of people lined the streets of the city to cheer on players, fans, and the club's owners.

The bus set off from the Racecourse ground at around 6:15pm and Ryan Reynolds kicked off the celebrations with a wave to fans who had been waiting.

Podcaster Shaun Winters described the moment as "unbelievable", adding "looking at what these lads have done, it's remarkable".

He said it means "everything" to the city, and "Wrexham is engrained in these people, as you can see from all the celebrations".

Julie and Jackie spoke to our reporter Joanne Gallacher and said that they are season ticket holders and Rob and Ryan have invested into the club but also the city.

• "It's a magical place to be"

They said that it is a "family club" and the footballers always give young fans "a lot of time".

"The Wrexham players are part of the community."

Wrexham AFC CEO, Fleur Robinson, said: “It's been a huge effort by everybody, on the pitch and off it, and this is a great opportunity for us to thank for the community of Wrexham for their incredible support.

“We are looking forward to commemorating a truly memorable and record-breaking season together.”
