Arsenal Victory Parade Celebrates 22-Year Wait

North London turned red and white and refused to calm down.

Arsenal’s victory parade, celebrating a first Premier League title in 22 years, became one of those rare days that instantly file themselves under “club folklore”. Buses crawled through Islington. Flares, flags and phones filled the air. Generations of Gooners packed every pavement, every balcony, every vantage point they could find.

This wasn’t just a procession. It was a release.

Players, staff and supporters moved as one long, noisy tide through north London, the kind of shared surge that only comes when a wait has been painfully long and the payoff impossibly sweet. The chants rolled off the buildings. The silverware glinted in the thin London sun. You could feel the 22 years in every cheer.

Around them, a different team went to work.

Members of Arsenal’s Creators Club were embedded in the crowd and on the route, cameras up, lenses trained on the chaos and the joy. Susana Ferreira hunted for those tight, emotional frames in the crush of supporters. Josh Upton tracked the buses and the players, catching those unscripted moments between the big roars. Kya Banasko and Lily Craigen found colour everywhere: flags draped from windows, kids on shoulders, faces painted, eyes wide.

Jahnay Fyffe and Romel Birch moved with the noise, slipping between pockets of fans, freezing the split-second reactions that usually vanish into memory. Matt Dingle, Lowernorthbank and Raiyan Tafiq looked for the wider story – the sheer scale of it – capturing streets swallowed by red and white, where the line between team and city disappeared.

Their work stitched the day together.

From the first fans staking out spots in Islington to the final waves from the open-top bus, every frame added another layer to a title celebration this club had been craving for more than two decades. The photos don’t just show a parade; they show what it means when a club, a community and a long-awaited Premier League trophy finally collide on the same streets.
