THE Premier League champions victory parade for Manchester City FC takes place this evening.

There will be an open-top bus tour with Pep Guardiola’s title-winning squad departing the Town Hall at 6pm, before embarking on a route through the city centre and finishing at Manchester Cathedral.

Police Superintendent Stuart Ellison said: "Most of the road closures will be in effect from around midday as preparations begin so we would advise people to carefully plan their journeys and to follow TfGM for traffic updates."
