Manchester City parade to cause road closures throughout centre

While Manchester City may not have been able to beat their rivals to win the FA Cup on Saturday, the club will still be holding a parade through Manchester city centre to celebrate a record-breaking fourth Premier League win in a row.

Players will travel on the bus as it makes its way from the National Football Museum along the length of Deansgate, with the parade due to start 7:30pm and expect to end around 9pm on Sunday 26 May.

Just a few hours beforehand, the Great Manchester Run will see thousands of runners take to the city centre streets, with Deansgate also acting as the finish line.

Both events mean Manchester is expected to be very busy, and a series of road closures have been put in place to ensure both events run smoothly.

Fans planning to attend have therefore been asked to rely on public transport, and organisers are asking they travel light and do bring glass bottles to the parade.
