Football fans and locals turned out in their droves as Lincoln City FC celebrated winning the League Two title with a city-wide coach parade on Sunday.
As previously reported, Sincil Bank was wild with celebration after the Imps clinched the League Two title with a goalless draw against Tranmere on Easter Monday. The Imps secured promotion to the third tier of English football for the first time in 20 years.

Lincoln City suffered a surprise 3-0 defeat against Colchester at Sincil Bank on Saturday in what was their final league game of the League Two season. Despite the result, the Imps, who lifted the League Two trophy on Saturday, did the city and their fans proud this season.

Sunday’s parade started from South Park before making its way through the city on its three-mile route that has been greatly extended from the previous parade in 2017.
The celebration capped off a fine season, which was management duo Danny and Nicky Cowley’s third trophy in three seasons – 2016/17 National League title, 2017/18 Checkatrade Trophy and the recently won 2018/19 League Two title.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas — but not as much in Lincoln — tainted by the absence of the country’s oldest festive market, which was cancelled over safety concerns. Yes, this means that the 2023 Lincolnshire Christmas Market will not take place from Thursday.
With tens of thousands of people googling Christmas markets, it is unsurprising to see a flurry of stories in the nationals about City of Lincoln Council’s decision to cancel the 40-year-old event, which attracted more than 350,000 people in four days last year, and reportedly generated around £15 million for the local economy.
Seeing family, being cosy by the fire, and fun in the snow, contrasted with dark mornings and cold weather, are among the most loved — and hated — things about winter for people in Lincoln.
New research shows that 81% of people admitted they hate the winter season. According to a poll of 2,000 by the Post Office, dark mornings (49%), slipping on ice (44%), and having a cold face (41%), runny nose (38%), and paying the heating bills (34%) are considered the worst things about winter.
