Liverpool FC Premier League Champions parade and fans in the city
People have been urged not to climb on buildings or street furniture at today's Liverpool FC victory parade. Thousands of supporters have lined the streets to celebrate after the Reds were crowned Premier League champions at Anfield after playing Crystal Palace yesterday.
The parade is now underway and is expected to last between three and five hours, though timings may vary. It began at Allerton Maze and headed north along Queens Drive, following a route similar to the one used in 2019.
Today, Merseyside Police issued a warning for the hundreds of thousands at the parade. Posting to X, the force said: "Please keep yourselves and other people safe during today's #LFC Victory Parade by not climbing buildings, structures, scaffolding or street furniture.
"The parade route covers 10 miles and there are plenty of safe vantage points to see the LFC bus. Hope everyone has a great day!"
Red smoke filled the city yesterday as eager Liverpool FC fans celebrated the final matchday of the Premier League season. Anfield erupted as Virgil van Dijk lifted the trophy in front of fans.
The streets surrounding Anfield Stadium were packed out with supporters, and today will be no different. It is a bank holiday weekend that no Liverpool fan will forget in a hurry.
The Liverpool ECHO will be live-blogging the entire parade, capturing every moment as the team tours the city. Reporters and photographers will be stationed along the route, sharing updates, videos, and photos of Liverpool players, fans, and the unforgettable atmosphere.
