Manchester City homecoming parade: Everything you need to know

Thousands of Manchester City fans are expected to turn out later to watch the Blues' open-top bus parade to mark the success of the men's, women's and academy teams this season.

The Citizens lifted the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, the Women's Super League trophy and the FA Youth Cup.

City players and the three managers - outgoing Pep Guardiola, Andree Jeglertz and Oliver Reiss - will be presented to the crowd at the start of the parade in the Northern Quarter where there will be live music and a big screen.

There is also a separate celebration event - The After Party - being held at Co-op Live near Etihad Stadium.

The parade is also a chance for fans to say farewell to Guardiola after the bombshell news of his departure.

Addressing his exit, the six-time Premier League winner said: "Don't ask me the reasons I'm leaving. There is no reason, but deep inside, I know it's my time. Nothing is eternal, if it was, I would be here. Eternal will be the feeling, the people, the memories, the love I have for my Manchester City."

The City Parade show and build up starts at 16:00 with the buses setting off with the players and managers at 17:00.

It is due to finish at 18:30.

The City Parade starts in the Northern Quarter and travels through Ancoats.

It will approach the Etihad Stadium along Ashton New Road and end at The Colin Bell Stand reception with a final celebration moment.
