Football - Premier League champion Chelsea calls off victory parade

-

Premier League champion Chelsea has called off its victory parade because of the attack in Manchester. Chelsea says it would be inappropri­ate to hold a parade in London this weekend following Monday's bombing at a concert in Manchester. The club says "given the heightened security threat announced by the government, and recognizin­g that this is a developing situation, we have given this careful considerat­ion." Chelsea also says it does not want to divert emergency services. English champions traditiona­lly celebrate by driving through the city streets on an open top bus, with players holding trophies and waving to fans.
