19 pictures that show why Liverpool parade was totally justified

Liverpool brought the city to a standstill this afternoon as the team paraded through the streets to celebrate a brilliant season.

Jurgen Klopp's men claimed both domestic trophies, finished one point behind Manchester City in the top flight, and were narrowly beaten by Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday.

For several hours today, the squad and staff were driven towards town in an open top bus as they carried both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup to display to thousands of adoring fans.

Smoke and songs filled the air as a sea of red could be seen from South Liverpool all the way into the city centre, where there was a spectacular firework finale.

It was a memorable day - and the vast show of support sent a clear message to any critics who questioned why these joyous scenes were taking place.

Speaking to LFC TV on the parade bus, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made his thoughts clear too: "This is the best club in the world! I don’t care what other people think. This parade is such a boost for everything that is set to come."

Here are some of the best photos from ECHO photographers and elsewhere, showing just how many people turned out to salute their heroes:
