We are Room 3

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Auckland on Monday to see the All Blacks celebrate their Rugby World Cup victory.

People stood on footpaths along Queen St and huge crowds filled Wellesley St and Britomart Transport Centre to catch a glimpse of the All Blacks and the Webb Ellis Cup.

The entire All Blacks squad and training staff were in the back of utes to wave to the fans.

Captain Richie McCaw, Mils Muliaina and Brad Thorn, head coach Graham Henry and the Webb Ellis Cup were carried on a truck at the back of the procession.

The crowd gave the biggest cheers of the afternoon when McCaw held the Webb Ellis Cup aloft along the length of Queen Street.

Another All Blacks victory parade was held in Christchurch on Tuesday and Wellington on Wednesday. Poor Dunedin missed out on seeing the AB's and the trophy. gregor
