Newcastle United announce open-top bus parade date

Newcastle United have announced the date for an open-top bus parade through the city following their historic League Cup win.
The club has issued a âsave the dateâ for 29 March, which comes after the international break, to celebrate Sundayâs Carabao Cup glory.
It is the Magpiesâ first piece of major silverware since 1969 and first domestic one in 70 years, with supporters expected to line the streets of Newcastle to watch the team lift their trophy.
Meanwhile, Blyth-born Dan Burn has been nominated for the Freedom of Northumberland following his man of the match performance.
The 32-year-old defender scored Newcastleâs first goal at Wembley in 25 years on Sunday, with the team eventually beating Liverpool 2-1.
Leader of Northumberland County Council Glen Sanderson said he intended to nominate Burn for the Freedom of Northumberland as he believed it would âinspire young people to achieve their dreamsâ.
âItâs a great victory for the region and the fact a local lad from Blyth played such a crucial part of the journey is wonderful,â he added.

And the honours for Burn do not stop there.
Northumberland National Park has also announced it has temporarily renamed Elsdon Burn Walk, near Elsdon, to âBig Dan Burn Walkâ.
Once the centre of defence in the Border Reiver battles, a spokesperson said it âseems like a fitting place to mark Danâs and the whole teamsâ heroic achievementsâ.
âNorthumberland National Park is a place as grand and expansive as Dan himself,â they added, in a nod to the playerâs 6ft 6in (1.98m) height.
Meanwhile, Burnâs former PE teacher Dan Kennerley, of The Blyth Academy, has recreated the playerâs goal.
Mr Kennerley went to Wembley to watch Newcastle United lift the trophy, before travelling back on Sunday night for school the following morning.
He told BBC Look North: âIt was destiny â everyone thought he was going to score and when he put that header in, it was like the roof just lifted offâ.
