Hillary Clinton has urged presumptive democratic nominee Barack Obama to celebrate his historic victory with an open top motorcade parade.

Addressing supporters of her campaign last night, Clinton congratulated her rival on sealing the party's nomination, and urged him to greet supporters from the back seat of an open topped Ford Lincoln.

"It would be a wonderful way for Barack to thank his supporters. I can see it now...there'd be people lined up all along the streets and in the windows of high rise buildings, for whom the motorcade should slow down".

Clinton told the nation that there is no bitterness between herself and Obama and that she wishes him well in his bid for President.

"I am proud to consider Barack Obama a friend, and to see him driving through the streets of, say, Dallas would be a fitting tribute".

Clinton also urged Michelle Obama to ride alongside her husband and to "get ready for a mind-blowing surprise midway through the parade".

"It's going to be great", said Clinton. "Put it this way, everyone will remember where they were when this historic event took place".
