Greater Manchester Police is urging Manchester City fans to make their FA Cup victory parade a memorable occasion for the club.
Thousands of fans are expected to line the streets of the city centre today (Monday 23 May), following their teams win at Wembley and officers are urging fans to enjoy themselves in a responsible manner as the team parade the trophy on an open top bus.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "This is a time for Manchester City fans to enjoy their Wembley win and I would like to congratulate them on their team's success.
"This is not only a celebration for the club but a celebration for the city of Manchester as a whole.
"I would remind supporters to take note of the on-street alcohol ban restricting drinking alcohol in public places.
"The parade will be attended by a lot of families and I would urge all those attending to enjoy the unique atmosphere but behave in a responsible way."
