Sophie Ellis-Bextor reveals she will spin tracks at the post-parade family gathering. "There is even a bouncy castle," she adds.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor joins the official Arsenal broadcast covering the procession.

Drew Lundgren writes in, still reflecting on events: "Fans are mistaken if they think PSG would dominate in the Premier League. Arsenal would have handled them comfortably. That PSG side lacks toughness and benefited from questionable officiating."

Aboard the lead bus, several players wipe their eyes amid dense red smoke.

Mikel Merino comments: "Extremely proud and delighted to mark this with the squad. It proved a demanding campaign with many swings."

Martin Odegaard, sporting oversized sunglasses, directs the festivities by raising his arms while the vehicle advances. Security keeps pace easily.

Gabriel Martinelli notes: "Sharing this with supporters feels special." Declan Rice relaxes holding the trophy. Off-key singing echoes from the group.

The banner states "These streets are our own".

Crowd estimates reach 800,000. At Seven Sisters near Finsbury Park a massive banner unfurls. Cheers rise, smoke swirls. The trophy vanishes briefly in haze as Louis Dunford's The Angel plays. Gunnersaurus rides the final bus alongside the women's squad.

David Wall messages: "Arsenal deserve recognition for claiming the title, yet the swift shift from last night's result feels abrupt. Their approach drew criticism, but Bayern showed it could have been closer."

Players exchange smiles. An aerial view captures supporters darting down side streets for fresh glimpses of the swift convoy.

Myles Lewis-Skelly tells Sky: "It stings falling short of a major target, yet it motivates us further. Being here with supporters means everything and seeing family will stir emotions. These weeks have been remarkable. It signals a fresh chapter and we stand ready to chase ambitions. Arteta has backed me throughout and I value that trust deeply."

Jesper Kallstrom contacts us: "Spurs supporters debating tactics provides entertainment. Arsenal alone netted from open play against Europe's top attack. One-dimensional? Stay safe at 17th."

Steve Farole observes: "This Arsenal side proves two realities coexist. Arteta crafted a unit suited to modern demands, matching physicality and stifling counters where others struggled. Their effort and organization earned the crown. Yet they netted the fewest goals of any champion since Leicester and relied on set pieces. That trend does not improve viewing. Open-play shortcomings surfaced again yesterday. A strong base exists; adding attacking flair could make them unstoppable."

Sound levels peak along Holloway Road as the lead bus advances. Vehicles move briskly, red smoke dense. Without pyro, is it truly a celebration?

The women's team bus features Lotte Wubben-Moy and Leah Williamson dancing. Supporters line rooftops. Men's players appear subdued after a tiring schedule.

Declan Rice stands forward with an Arsenal cup. Christhian Mosquera leads dancing at the rear. Jerseys display "Champions 26".

Buses depart

First carries players and coach, second staff, third women's squad. Mikel Arteta wears sunglasses and addresses the group. A mobile DJ handles tunes and player comments. They cross the bridge marked "This Belongs To All Of Us".

Fatboy Slim's Right Here Right Now plays. Fans hear the call to prepare. Players and Arteta wear club shirts. Odegaard holds the trophy. Stuart MacFarlane photographs the group on Danny Fizsman bridge. Medals gleam.

Craig Fawcett adds: "Arsenal earned the title yet remain one-dimensional. No memorable open-play goals stand out. Set-piece reliance mirrors Pulis Stoke. Enjoy the day!"

Three open-top buses load up.

Team buses wait behind the Emirates, also honoring women's Champions Cup win.

Reactions from Budapest emerge.

North London's other club struggles. Hugh Giles notes: "As a Spurs supporter in the area, staying indoors makes sense. Yesterday unfolded ideally from our view, especially the shootout. Limited shots undermined claims of greatness."

Even rivals may concede Arsenal deserved the domestic crown, though last night told another tale amid low possession.

Returning from Sheffield an hour before kickoff, Highbury and Islington station overflowed with Arsenal colors. One supporter wore a Pepe shirt, perhaps foreshadowing. No Sanogo kits spotted yet, but one may appear today.

Players prepare at the Emirates.

North London scenes appear calmer than Paris events yesterday. May the positive atmosphere continue.

Rob Draper's analysis merits attention.

"A driven young coach, intelligent and ambitious, paired with resources and patient ownership proved ideal," noted a former club executive close to Arteta. "He projected five years."

Sources credit the Kroenke family, highlighting Josh Kroenke's role. "He seemed to urge restored investment," one recalled.

This formal event contrasts Tuesday's spontaneous gathering.

They arrive via familiar lanes like Gillespie Road and Hornsey Road, passing The Plimsoll. The evening feels cool, the air alive with cheers and liberation. At the ground strangers embrace, united by history and relief. Chants echo. Fireworks burst. Relatives connect via video. Selfies with Ian Wright multiply. Numbers swell into a vibrant throng. Online critics pause.

David Squires offers his cartoon take on the champions.

Pre-parade reflections revisit season highlights.

Crowds line the route densely, airhorns prominent. Upper Street overflows. Some flew back from Budapest overnight. Others arrive mid-event.

Route details: Holloway Road, Seven Sisters, Blackstock Road to Newington Green, Essex Road then Angel station onto Upper Street, avoiding the cordoned Emirates.

Opening

London streets and trains this week featured Arsenal shirts prominently. Today they gather for the league trophy procession. Champions League silver stayed in Paris, yet spirits remain high. Twenty-two years have passed since top spot in England. Attendance projections hit a million, possibly low.

Buses roll at 2pm.
