One of the main organisers of Liverpool's hugely successful victory parade last weekend has spoken out about the differences between that event and what happened in Paris the day before.
Claire McColgan is the director of culture at Liverpool City Council and was tasked with pulling together the huge city-wide event in just a number of weeks. It is estimated that 500,000 people lined the streets of Liverpool to welcome the team home and celebrate their FA and Carabao cup triumphs.
There were no arrests, no problems and a festival atmosphere around the city. The scenes were in stark contrast to the chaos and danger experienced by so many fans the night before in Paris.
