    We're still hearing from Arsenal supporters about their joy over the club's first Premier League trophy in more than two decades.

    Tim Selves is thrilled to see how far the team has come, and has words of encouragement for the club's next season: "If told at the beginning of the season that Arsenal would get to two finals – albeit lose them both – and be champions, I think nearly all fans would have taken it.

    "If that had been proposed 10 years ago, when fans were fighting amongst themselves, it would have been considered sheer fantasy. You can’t build Rome in a day, but brilliant strategy, management and players at the club are now paying dividends.

    "Well done to all, let’s enjoy what we have achieved, rest and then go for even more next season."

    As the victory parade comes to a close, you can bet some people will be heading to the pub, while others will hang around and enjoy the party.

    They don't know how long they're going to have to wait to do this again.

    Most people I've been speaking to today don't think it's going to be another 22 years, but you never know.

    Out of all the events I've ever covered in my 15 years as a broadcast journalist, this is without doubt the biggest event I've seen, people wise, in any sport across any country.

    These are memories that last a lifetime.

    The Arsenal teams and staff have made it back to Emirates Stadium.

    After a two-and-a-half hour loop around north London, and a 22-year wait, it doesn't look like fans are ready for the celebrations to end quite yet.

    It's not just street level that's standing room only.

    The rooftops are getting crowded too as almost everyone in north London scrambles for a glimpse of the victors as they pass.

  6. It's a red alert for north Londonpublished at 16:18 BST

    Arsenal fans are giving the saying 'painting the town red' a whole new meaning today.

    We've just bumped into three generations of Arsenal fans.

    Grandmother Val Fenner - from Hertfordshire - has been a fan 40 years. She's with her daughter Carly Bowers and Carly's sons.

    Carly was in Budapest for the Champions League Final last night

    "It was a really good experience. Sadly not meant to be… this time - but I am so proud of the team."

    Grace Abwooli says that she's not a fan of the club, but the red and white vibes are contagious.

    She tells us: "I’m at home watching the parade with my four-month-old baby. I’m not an Arsenal fan myself, but I have friends and family who are. Hats off to Arsenal — it’s lovely to see everyone in such happy spirits despite yesterday’s loss. Congratulations on a fantastic season.

    "It’s great to see such happy spirits and beautiful chaos in North London! Let’s continue with this same energy for the World Cup!"

    More now from club fans who couldn't make it to the parade:

    Liam Sinnott says a bout of chickenpox has kept his family at home.

    "I could not go to the parade as my two young daughters have chicken pox. Been a supporter of Arsenal since 1986 and this title means the most out of all the First Division and Premier League trophies I've experienced as a fan of the Gunners. I am with all the players and fans in spirit today. COYG - North London is red."

    And Chris Carter-Gordon has been thwarted by injury.

    "Watching from home with a broken ankle - so excited for (and jealous of!) my husband and friends who are watching in the crowd. I’ll be at the next one, promise!!"

    Chemotherapy tomorrow for Jonathan Patrick's son means the pair have stayed in - but spirits are high, he says:

    "My two sons watching the Arsenal parade today, would of loved to been there but my eldest son is off for chemotherapy tomorrow morning, but watching Arsenal show off the Premier League trophy is putting a smile on his face."

    The buses are still going, with the players of both Arsenal FC and Arsenal WFC slowly making their way down Essex Road, towards Angel.

    The crowd is not thinning - and the clouds of red smoke aren't either.

    It’s an amazing atmosphere here in north London. There’s a cloud of red smoke from the flares, making the area feel even more red today.

    We’ve spoken to people who live just metres away from the stadium and have been talking about the sense of community since Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions a few days ago.

    "People have actually been talking to each other in the street!" one resident tells me.

    North London is very much alive.

  13. Three generations of Arsenal fans celebrate something to 'scream and roar about'published at 15:41 BST

    Theresa, Jo, baby Freddy and Mary

    "You're speaking to two elderly ladies who have known Arsenal since when we were small," lifetime fan Theresa tells the BBC's Emily Brown at the parade.

    Theresa was born streets away from Arsenal's Emirates stadium. "So you could say I've been a fan since I was born," she says.

    While Theresa and Mary did see Arsenal win the same trophy 22 years ago, Theresa says, "it has been a long time since Arsenal has had anything to scream and roar about".

    Theresa, who still lives in the area, says everybody has been in great spirits over the last week, waving and congratulating passers-by.

    "And now, we're all together," Mary says.

    That includes one of Arsenal's youngest fans, Freddy, whose mum Jo says he has no choice in the matter.

  14. Shades on as WFC champions soak in the glorypublished at 15:37 BST

    Ever wondered what a sea of fans bathed in red flare looks like through sunglasses?

    Donning their shades, Arsenal WFC's players are taking the time to bask in the victory of their Champions Cup title back in February.

    And if you need a refresher on what happened three months ago, check our earlier post.

    A young boy and young girl speak to a BBC reporter along the parade route

    The BBC has spoken to two young fans along the parade route who say they are very much enjoying the day.

    "It's just so cool seeing the actual players, I've only ever actually seen them on TV. It's just so different seeing them in real life," the young girl says.

    "I was waiving at [Alessia] Russo, she waved back."

    The boy adds: "It means a lot seeing them in real life, it gives me a lot of inspiration to be a professional footballer when I'm older."

  16. Always time to tune into the BBCpublished at 15:23 BST

    Amid the celebrations we’ve also spotted someone watching our live coverage - hello!

    If you're not at the parade ground, remember you can watch our live stream at the top of the page.

    A fan speaks to a BBC reporter from the parade

    "I had to be here because I waited 22 years for this," one fan tells the BBC.

    He says he was only nine-years-old when Arsenal last won this trophy in the legendary Invincibles season - where they didn't lose a single Premier League game.

    He says today is "one of the best days of my life".

    The fans and the players are united as the victory bus passes through north London, bringing that Premier League trophy that they have waited so long to see again in this part of London.

    You can see the trophy glinting through that red smoke.

    "North London forever!" rings around Seven Sisters Road and confetti, gold and red are everywhere.
