Arsenal title parade: What you need to know

The event is being run with the assistance of Islington Council, TfL, the Metropolitan Police and other emergency services.

Club stewards will be along the full route, with barriers and cordons in place, and an increased police presence is expected.

The Metropolitan Police said it was “preparing for one of its largest policing operations of the year so far”.

More than 500 officers are due to be deployed on Sunday along with search and drone teams.

Commander Stuart Bell said: “The parade is an opportunity for Arsenal supporters to celebrate, and we want everyone attending to enjoy the day safely.

“Officers will respond to incidents where necessary.”

He added that while it was expected that the vast majority of those attending would celebrate responsibly, “anti-social behaviour, violence or any other type of criminality will not be tolerated”.

Flares, fireworks and pyrotechnics are banned. Arsenal have asked fans not to climb on or to attach anything to scaffolding, trees, lampposts, statues, railings or street furniture, and to be considerate of younger supporters, families, disabled fans and local residents.

First-aid points will be signposted along the route.
