Thousands to watch Portsmouth parade
More than 100,000 people are expected to line the streets to watch Portsmouth parade the FA Cup.
Supporters will get the chance to cheer Sol Campbell's team as they bring the Cup back to Fratton Park for the first time in 69 years.
Portsmouth striker Nwankwo Kanu is guaranteed a hero's welcome after scoring the winning goal against Cardiff City at Wembley.
Both Portsmouth and Cardiff were given an allocation of 25,000 seats at the final, but more than four times that number are likely to watch the Cup come home.
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp said: â€Å"If you had said to them six years ago, when we were down at the bottom of the Championship, that we would be winning the FA Cup, they would have thought you were mad. So it’s been great for them."
It is the first time Portsmouth have won a major trophy since 2003, when they were promoted to the Premier League as first division champions.
