Louth GAA fans across the county are celebrating their first Leinster Senior Football Championship title win in 68 years.
Players and management will be bringing the long-coveted Delaney Cup to three parts of the county tonight.
The homecoming parade will stop off at Drogheda and Ardee before the celebrations continue long into the night in Dundalk.
Ger Brennan's side saw off rivals Meath by a scoreline of 3-14 to 1-18 at Croke Park this afternoon in a close-fought and highly entertaining game of Gaelic football.

Cathaoirleach Councillor Kevin Callan said he wanted to "extend the warmest of congratulations to everyone involved at Louth GAA" on behalf of the council.
"As we've seen from the results of our minor and U20 teams in recent weeks, football in the county is clearly on an upward trajectory, and this magnificent win against our neighbours and old rivals confirms that," he said.
"For a long time, we've all dreamt of winning our first Leinster title since 1957, and Ger Brennan and this group of players have made that dream a reality.
"They will rightly go down in history as the team who ended the long wait - and they did it in style. An Lú Abú!," Cllr Callan added.
Louth County Council CEO David Conway said: "This is a momentous day for Co Louth, and one that every GAA fan in the county will remember for the rest of their lives."
He added: "This historic achievement is a testament to the dedication, talent, and spirit of the Louth players, the management and backroom team, the county board, and every Gael across the county.
"Huge credit must go to both teams for producing such a thrilling spectacle and it was wonderful to see the sea of red and white celebrating when Sam Mulroy lifted the trophy in the Hogan Stand.
"This marks a proud day in the history of Louth GAA and an unforgettable occasion that will inspire generations of youngsters to come. Congratulations to everyone involved."
Louth County Council is likely to honour the achievements of the team in the near future.
The pupils at St Patrick's National School in Harestown were delighted when Chairperson of the Louth County Board Seán McClean paid them a visit this morning, along with the Delaney Cup.
The school has a special connection to the Leinster Final win as it is the alma mater of Louth captain and yesterday's man-of-the-match Sam Mulroy.
Speaking at the school, vice-principal Ann Boland said the atmosphere at the school was "electric".
"Everybody is just so super, super proud of Sam [Mulroy] and the team and the achievement they have done for the whole county, for our school, it's amazing," Ms Boland said.
"All those young kids that are here in this school, they are going to look at that cup, they are going to look at that team and look at Sam [Mulroy] and go wow," she added.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Seán McClean said he paid tribute to Louth GAA clubs for raising "their standards" over the last number of years.
"It really is down to a lot of hard work and I know it is easy to come out on final day and you look at these lads and say my God they have done brilliantly.
"But you don’t see them during the winter months when they are in the Draver [Louth GAA Training Centre] at 7.30 in the morning … and they are there till 10 O’Clock at night some nights.
"They really do put in a phenomenal amount of work at all levels," he said.
Mr McClean added the county is "afraid of nobody" as it looks forward to the All-Ireland group stage.
