Central to the celebration - of course - will be the Bus Parade.
It'll start from Coventry Building Society Arena at 1pm, followed by a music festival at the War Memorial Park running from 1pm to 7pm.

Fans can look forward to performances from Coventry's talented local music acts, with further details on the parade route and music line-up to be announced soon.
