Manchester City Homecoming 1956

The blue footballing half of Manchester celebrates here, as City return home with the F.A. Cup, having beaten Birmingham City 3-1. This is the blues' sixth cup final, third win, and a great occasion, with TV cameras recording the team's progress from London Road station to the Town Hall. This brief but fascinating film captures the atmosphere as the fans turn out to support their team.
