As the date of the proposed victory parade falls on the anniversary of the Heysel Stadium disaster, throughout the morning of the anniversary the Council & #LiverpoolFC will pay tribute to the 39 supporters who lost their lives on that day.
Details to be announced in due course.

In response to why Sunday, 29 May, this is the only date available to hold a victory parade within the city and to have all the players available.
Immediately after, the majority of #LFC players will be traveling on international duty to represent their respective countries.

The #LFCparade route would start at Allerton Maze towards the Fiveways roundabout & Rocket flyover, then:
• Queens Drive
• Mill Bank
• West Derby Rd
• Islington
• Leeds Street
• The Strand
Ending at Blundell St

As in 2019, if #LFCparade does go ahead, key advice to supporters is to line the entire route, plan travel in advance & expect the city to be extremely busy on the Sunday.
More info will be issued by the city council & partner agencies in due course.
