Believe it or not, it's 15 years since that triumphant Manchester United team won the European Cup in Barcelona to complete an unprecedented Treble.

While many of the 60,000 Reds who went to Spain were still making their way home from the Camp Nou, those back in Manchester were determined to give the players a heroes' welcome.

And so it was that, on this day in 1999, Greater Manchester Police estimated that at least 500,000 saw the champions' open-top bus crawl from Sale into the city centre to a reception in front of thousands more at the Manchester Arena.

Take a trip down memory lane and look below at our gallery of stunning pictures from that day.

The pictures come courtesy of the M.E.N archives, GMP's Flickr page, and Manchester United's Facebook page.
