Thousands braved the rain to cheer the champions following their 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

 

The Gunners scored a 12th FA Cup win – the sixth with Arsene Wenger at the helm – a record for football’s oldest knockout contest. 

 

Even the rain failed to dampen fans’ high spirits as the open-top bus wended its way through North London.

 

Arsenal were keen to celebrate after their win, with goals from Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud.

 

However, midfielder Jack Wilshere could face disciplinary action, after taking to the microphone during the parade to lead fans in an insulting chant, which included swearing about North London rivals Tottenham.
