Chelsea have cancelled their victory parade following the Manchester attack

Due to the increased terror threat level.

Chelsea have announced that they have cancelled their plans to hold a Premier League victory parade following the bomb attack at the Manchester Arena. The club had planned to hold the parade on London this Sunday. However, they have said it would be inappropriate to divert police forces when there are already under extra strain. A statement on the club's website reads: Given the heightened security threat announced by the Government, and recognising that this is a developing situation, we have given this careful consideration. We strongly believe, in the interests of everyone, this is the correct course of action. We are sure our fans will understand this decision. Having consulted with the Metropolitan Police, Hammersmith & Fulham Council and other authorities, we know the emergency services would have been as professional as ever, but we would not want in any way to divert important resources by holding an additional, non-ticketed event on the streets of London. They also confirmed that the team will wear black arm bands during Saturdays FA Cup final against Arsenal, and making a donation to a fund supporting the victims.
