Details of the victory parade for the new Champions of Europe (is it five times now?) have been announced by the city and the police.

The team, carrying the cup which we'll now keep, will be escorted by 20 police horses in a parade starting at the junction of Queens Drive and East Prescot Road at 6.30pm.

The major points along the route with the times the parade will pass are:

Entering Lime Street via St Johns Lane, passing St George's Hall (8.30pm) before the parade disperses.

Roads will be closed as the parade passes through the main points. The roads will only be closed for a minimal period of time, shortly before and after the procession passes.

Merseyside Police Chief Supt Dave Willman said: "There should be minimal disruption during the parade. However I'd advise anyone travelling between 6.30pm and 8.30pm to try and avoid the area.

"I'd ask anyone going, that for safety reasons, they do not climb on street furniture and stay on the pavements, away from the roads. There will be plenty of vantage points where spectators will be able to see the procession.

"The winners will be led in by 20 police horses which will ensure that the buses pass slowly enabling everyone to catch a glimpse of their favourite players."

I have just got back from the ground after seeing the Mighty Reds coming back and it was the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life! I went at 5pm and stood at the very front of the queue for nearly 4 hours to get a glimpse of the team. I actually touched the bus with the team on and I was screaming my head off to Gerrard and he  :wave at me and I screamed ''You better fucking stay now Gerrard" and I swear down he waved to me.

It was the best day of my life and I will always remember it because it was fucking brilliant. The atmosphere was electrifying and I actually hugged 4 people who I didnt even know, I seen loads of my mates and they were all climbing on the gates to the ground and climbing on the roof of the chippies and the roof of the church, it was absolutely fucking brilliant and it was the best atmosphere going and much better than them twatting blue nose c*nts.

I had my MP3 Player with me and I recorded all night and if anyone wants the live recording of when the players arrived at the ground then PM me with your email address and I will send you them. It was amazing and I was screaming my fucking head off, the fans were so fucking happy it was unbelievable and it is a night I will remeber for the rest of my life.

Please, please, please God can Gerrard stay at Liverpool as he is the fucking best player to grace this planry and I screamed my head off when he waved at me, I dont normally shout but tonight was different and I cannot wait for the next one!!! My cousin Mark Barrow (anyone know him?) walked around and was on all of the news channels so look out for him, he is the pissed one!!! Thank you to the team and the fans for making this such a memorable night!!!  :wave

Drove through the route in the cab with the kids and flags etc.Great fun ,took loads of pics,but reckon the 2001 'treble' tour was better.Maybe 'cos it was on a Sunday.Just seemed to be more people,banners,flags around.
Been there,done that,getting older,bordering on part timer status. So sad but that's life.
