Manchester Arena attack: Chelsea cancel Premier League victory parade

Chelsea have cancelled their Premier League victory parade, which was due to take place on Sunday, in the wake of the Manchester Arena attack.

The club say it would be "inappropriate" with the UK terror threat at its highest level after Monday's bombing killed 22 people.

Chelsea planned an open-top bus tour with the trophy and hoped to add the FA Cup in Saturday's final with Arsenal.

The Gunners have also said they will not stage a parade should they win.

A screening of the match at the club's Emirates Stadium has been cancelled, and fans will be given refunds.
