Cardiff City fans are celebrating the club winning promotion to the Premier League.
The Championship leaders needed just a draw at home to Charlton to secure top level football next season.
It came exactly 53 years to the day Cardiff last won promotion to football's top tier but a first since the Premier League came into being.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said promotion was fantastic news for Cardiff City and for Welsh football.
"The club and its supporters have been through some testing times in recent years but this season Malky and the team have done a great job of keeping their heads and getting results and with this promotion. They have made the city truly proud," said Mr Jones.
"This achievement will place Cardiff on the world stage, with visiting supporters bringing vast economic benefits to the city
