Liverpool Premier League parade: route, transport and times

The parade, which is being organised by Liverpool City Council, is expected to last between three and five hours.

Council leader Liam Robinson said: "We're delighted to officially invite Liverpool Football Club to parade around the city on 26 May.

"A Liverpool victory parade is more than football - it's a celebration of our city's pride, passion and community spirit."

Robinson said it was going to be a "bumper weekend in Liverpool", adding that a huge amount of work had already been done behind the scenes in preparation.

Thousands of music fans will also be heading to Sefton Park for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 May inclusive.

Liverpool will end their Premier League campaign on 25 May when Crystal Palace visit Anfield.

Rivals Everton play away on the final day of the season, a week after bidding an emotional farewell to their Goodison Park home.

Chief Insp Chris Barnes said: "We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Liverpool Football Club on their success.

"The parade will be a fantastic event for the players, the club, the city, and all the fans who will turn out to cheer their team on through the streets of Liverpool."
