A Leeds United fan who was seriously injured when he fell out of a tree during the club's promotion parade has said he has been "overwhelmed" by the support he has received.
Ed O'Brien, 23, from York, suffered life-threatening injuries during the celebrations in Millennium Square on 5 May.
He was in a coma for a week, and has spent almost a month in hospital.
Mr O'Brien said in a post on X he "wanted to thank everyone" who had wished him well and praised the hospital staff who have been treating him.
Speaking to the BBC after her son woke from his coma, his mother Stacey Barker said staff at Leeds General Infirmary had "worked what I can only describe as a miracle".
Now on the road to recovery, Mr O'Brien gave his own thanks.
"You don't get many characters these days but I also want to say – LGI, St Jimmy's hospitals – the staff have been superb," he said.
"They have saved my life and I'll never stop being grateful. Boy do they put in some hard work."

Mr O'Brien wrote he still "had a way to go" but was doing "very well" and everything was on the "right path".
"Just want to thank everyone who has wished me well, I truly am overwhelmed," he added.
He said he had read some "very lovely things", but also addressed what prompted his accident and some of the comments on social media about the incident.
"They're fair enough, I can promise I won't be climbing any trees anytime soon," he wrote.
"I was drunk and happy, made a daft decision."
