United's players and coaching staff took to the pitch after the final whistle against Manchester City on Sunday for a lap of honour.

It was the Magpies' final home game of an outstanding season, and a sell-out crowd at the Sports Direct Arena stayed behind to pay tribute to those who have done the business week after week both on and off the pitch.

The squad also used it as an opportunity to thank the fans for their superb support at home and away throughout the campaign, and Club Photographer Ian Horrocks captured the best of the action for this exclusive gallery.
