Details of the national parade in Manchester honouring our Team GB and Paralympic GB heroes have now been confirmed.
On Monday, 17 October, setting off from outside the Museum of Science and Industry, the parade will enter the Liverpool Road junction of Deansgate at 16:30 before completing a route through the city centre, ending in Albert Square (pictured the hugely popular Yorkshire parade last month)
The family-friendly event has been timed to allow as many people as possible to enjoy the celebration.
The parade is expected to last around one hour taking in the length of Deansgate, Huntsbank, Todd Street, Corporation Street, Exchange Square, Cross Street and finally Albert Square.
The parade will be followed by an event for the athletes in Albert Square from 17:30.
The parade and finale from Albert Square will also be broadcast live via Big Screen relay sites within the city centre so that people can see as much of the athletes as possible
Cllr Sue Murphy, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “Manchester is home to some of the biggest names of the Games and it is an honour to host the national parade for Team GB and Paralympic GB. We want to line the streets and fill Albert Square to give our athletes the celebration they deserve.”
