The usual trophy parade for Champions of the English Premier League, has been called off this time, by Chelsea football club to honour the victims of the Manchester City terror attack...
 
The Premier league Champions called off their planned parade which was slated for Sunday, in the Fullham road, Eel Brook Common and Kings Road, after the FA Cup against Arsenal of Saturday, will no longer hold, and this according to the statement released by the club, is to mourn the victims of the deadly terrorist attack in Manchester City...the statement reads:

"Everyone associated with Chelsea Football Club offers our heartfelt condolences to those affected by Monday’s terror attack in Manchester. Our thoughts go out to all the victims, and their families and friends.

"In light of these tragic events, we feel it is inappropriate to go ahead with the victory parade in London on Sunday.

"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.

"Furthermore, as a mark of respect, our players will wear black armbands at the FA Cup Final against Arsenal on Saturday. Chelsea Football Club will also make a donation to a fund supporting the victims of this horrific attack."
