A number of bus parades and events are taking place across England today as three teams celebrate their footballing successes.
Arsenal‘s women kicked off the celebrations after their UEFA Women’s Champions League victory in Lisbon on Saturday.
The trophy was lifted at Armoury Square, outside the Emirates Stadium, on Monday morning, after the team’s 1-0 victory over Barcelona.
Former Arsenal footballer-turned-presenter Alex Scott and Emirates Stadium host Nigel Mitchell presented the celebration.
The victory event began at 10am, with the Champions League trophy lifted at around 11.40am.
