Thousands of Liverpool fans have lined the streets of the city to welcome home the side and celebrate their double trophy-winning season.

The Reds won the FA and League Cups earlier in the season, but took part in a parade a day after losing the Champions League final in Paris.

Liverpool Women also took an open-top bus around the city, having won the Women's Championship trophy in April.

Liverpool Mayor Joanne Anderson said the sides had "done us proud".
