City players onboard the bus showed off their trophies to the crowd. City are only the second English men's team in history to win the Treble - their rivals Manchester United got there first in 1999

City manager Pep Guardiola thanked fans for coming out in the rain. "We had to be the best parade with this rain, otherwise it is not Manchester. We don't want sunshine, we want rain, so it was perfect. The fans are used to the rain"

Thousands of supporters gathered to see the team drive by on the bus. But was that Jack Grealish - or an inflatable doll with his face - in the crowd?

Police on horseback escorted the bus through the city centre. However, the parade came to an unscheduled halt when lightening storms hit, only to continue on its way
