Brentford will be playing Championship football next season after a dramatic day in League One ensured their automatic promotion alongside Wolves.
The occasion comes a year on from the Bees missing out on automatic promotion on the final day of last season after a stoppage time Doncaster goal at Griffin Park sent them up in their stead.
Mark Warburton's side went in to Good Friday's fixtures knowing they had to beat Preston, Leyton Orient had to lose at Crawley and Rotherham had to fail to win at Wolves for them to be promoted.

And all of the above duly happened, but not without drama.
Brentford clung on to victory against promotion-chasing Preston. Alan Judge scored a first-half penalty but his late miss from the spot brought back memories of Marcello Trotta's failure from 12 yards against Doncaster a year ago.
Despite Preston efforts the Bees picked up the three points they needed. But the nerves had barely begun for the Brentford faithful.

Crawley then did their job, with Andy Drury scoring a 70th-minute winner against Orient, who had set the pace in League One at the start of the season.
Up at Molineux, the kick-off had been delayed by 10 minutes due to traffic, so Brentford fans were forced to watch in agony as Rotherham pulled back from 4-2 down to equalise in the last 10 minutes.
But there was relief all round as their title rivals Wolves scored twice in six minutes of added time to finally sink the Millers and send Brentford in to the Championship.
