Chelsea FC news: Premier League champions cancel victory parade following Manchester terror attack

Chelsea have cancelled Sunday's planned victory parade following security advice in the wake of the Manchester terror attack.

The Blues had planned an open top bus tour to show off the Premier League trophy and hope to add the FA Cup in Saturday's final with Arsenal.

But following consultation with the authorities - and with the terror threat raised to "critical" - it has been determined "it would be inappropriate" for the parade to go ahead.

Chelsea players will wear black armbands for Saturday's Wembley fixture.

A statement on Chelsea's official website said: "Everyone associated with Chelsea Football Club offers our heartfelt condolences to those affected by Monday's terror attack in Manchester.
