Viktor Gyokeres hardly took his sunglasses off for the duration of the trophy parade. Josh Kroenke, with a drink in hand, led the wild chants in front of jubilant Arsenal supporters.
The Gunners were letting their hair down after a tough and successful season. Not even the heartbreak of losing the Champions League final to PSG less than 24 hours earlier could dampen the mood.
Players and members of staff on the four open-top buses, which left Emirates Stadium at around 2pm on Sunday, waved, sand and danced for the duration of the 5.6-mile route as Arsenal celebrated winning their first Premier League title in 22 years. The Arsenal Women's team were also celebrating their FIFA Women’s Champions Cup success.

Around half-a-million fans lined the streets of North London, with some enjoying BBQs and bringing deckchairs to take it all in. Fans climbed up traffic lights and lampposts, waved flags and scarves from rooftops and balconies, and sung songs until they could no longer do so.
At the very start, ahead of the bus turning onto Holloway Road, Mikel Arteta addressed the crowds alongside Martin Odegaard. With his sunglasses on and Arsenal-branded water bottle in his hand, the Gunners boss said: "On behalf of the team, this is just amazing to witness.

"You have created this. This is your moment to make sure that we all enjoy it together. Have a beautiful day. Let's go Arsenal!"
Arsenals centre-back pairing William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes were sat at the front of the bus with the Premier League trophy as it made its way through the sea of red and white. Defender Riccardo Calafiori leaned over the side of the bus, pumping his fist and celebrating with the fans.
Christian Norgaard and Ben White were sat at the back of the bus looking much more relaxed. The team were met with chants of “Champions of England, we know what we are”.
The air thick with red smoke, fans on the ground made as much noise as possible while the likes of Arteta and Bukayo Saka lifted the Premier League trophy. Josh Kroenke led chants of "Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal" and punched the air as he did so, while at one point Ben white encouraged Declan Rice to rap.
"Rice Rice baby," the midfielder bellowed to the tune of Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. "Next year we are coming back for more," the former West Ham man insisted when asked about next season.

Gyokeres, at one point, found himself in possession of a megaphone and was leading the chants. Ethan Nwaneri, on board the bus after his loan at Marseille, was among those joining in with the celebrations and even revealed he was in bed when Arsenal clinched the title at Selhurst Park. "No words to describe. Crazy," Nwaneri said during the trophy parade.
Even after the parade had finished and the buses returned to Emirates Stadium after two and a half hours, thousands of fans remained on the streets of North London to celebrate a quite amazing 2025/26 season. The players celebrated long into the night themselves before they go their separate ways for the World Cup.

Arteta, Andrea Berta and Josh Kroenke will now take some well deserved time off, too, before going again for the 2026/27 season. The trio will want to experience something similar - perhaps even bigger - this time next year.
