Champions League: Crowds gather for Liverpool victory parade






Thousands of Liverpool fans are celebrating the club's historic Champions League win at a parade through the city.
Jurgen Klopp's team were crowned champions of Europe for a sixth time when they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in Madrid.
They arrived at Liverpool Airport on Sunday afternoon ahead of an open-top bus parade.
It started at Allerton Maze and ends near the city's waterfront.

"The hairs on the back of my neck are standing on end at the thought of seeing the cup back in the city where it belongs."
