A triumphant homecoming parade is sweeping through Manchester to celebrate Manchester City winning the treble - despite torrential rain almost stopping it in its tracks.

The Blues are celebrating after beating Inter-Milan 1-0 in the Champions League Final, making Pep Guardiola's side the second English club to take the title since Manchester United in 1999.

It involves winning the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League.

When and where is the parade?

The parade will take place on Monday 12 June, starting at 7pm after adverse weather delayed it from 6.30pm.

The squad will depart from Tonman Street, Deansgate, and travel to St Mary's Gate.

The parade will then travel through Cross Street and King Street, before finishing on the corner of Princess Street and Portland Street.

The entrance to the parade stage viewing area is accessible via Oxford Street and Portland Street from 6.30pm and all fans will be searched before entering.

This is a non-ticketed event, so fans are advised to arrive early to get the best possible viewing experience.

There will also be screens on Oxford Street, Chepstow Street and Portland Street showing all the action on stage.

With thousands of supporters expected to line the route, several road closures across the city centre will be in place.

How can I get to the parade?

People travelling into or out of Manchester on Monday are being urged to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.

With thousands of supporters expected to line the route, which will require several road closures across the city centre, significant delays are expected to journey times by road – including bus routes – from 7pm until 9pm.

Fans wishing to attend the parade are being encouraged to travel by Metrolink to one of the city centre stops (St Peter's Square, Victoria) but to avoid alighting at Deansgate due to the staging of the event.
