Arsenal Football Club held a victory parade in North London on Sunday to celebrate winning the Premier League title [1, 2].
The event marks a historic return to the top of English football for the club, ending a championship drought that spanned more than two decades [1, 5].
The celebration began at 2 p.m. [1] at the Emirates Stadium in Holloway. From there, the parade followed a circular route through the borough of Islington, allowing fans to line the streets as the team displayed the trophy [1, 4].
Organizers and local authorities expected a massive turnout for the festivities. Attendance estimates reached up to 500,000 fans [1]. Because of the scale of the crowd, local police said they were preparing for one of their largest policing operations of the year [1].
