    Parade special! Holloway Road scenes and inside the celebrations
    Jun 11 2026
    We’re back in our Emirates Stadium studio for a very special edition of The Dispatch, and it’s one packed with emotion, stories and unforgettable moments from the Champions Parade! Josh James is joined by Frimmy as the pair reflect on an incredible few weeks that saw us crowned Premier League champions, travel out to Budapest for the Champions League final, and celebrate in style back home with an unforgettable open-top bus parade. We kick things off in Hungary, with both hosts sharing their experiences from Budapest, from the fan zones and open training to the electric matchday atmosphere and the disappointment of the final itself. There’s insight into what it was like pitchside, the mood in the dressing room afterwards, and the powerful words from Mikel Arteta that lifted spirits ahead of the celebrations. Attention then turns to Sunday’s parade, as Frimmy takes us inside the experience of being on bus Number One. From the chaos of getting there in time to the breathtaking scenes along Holloway Road, he paints a vivid picture of a sea of red and white stretching as far as the eye could see. The duo relive the best moments, players on the mic, surprise interactions, family celebrations, and the incredible unity across the club with all four buses representing the men’s team, women’s team, staff and community. We also go behind the scenes of the post-parade party at the Emirates, where players, staff and their families came together to celebrate a historic season, with a few special guests and memorable interactions along the way.
