Arsenal Parade 2015: Twitter Reaction, Photos, Videos, GIFs and More

Arsenal enjoyed their second victory parade in as many years as they celebrated their second successive FA Cup win with an open-top bus tour around London.

The Gunners saw off Aston Villa in style at Wembley, as goals from Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud put Tim Sherwood's side to the sword in a 4-0 win.

The cup win capped off another successful season for Arsenal, who also finished third in the Premier League.

Unperturbed by the rain, thousands of Arsenal fans turned out in droves to witness their team celebrate a record 12th FA Cup. For those who couldn't make it to the parade, Arsenal's official Twitter feed was on hand to keep fans updated:

According to Joe Mewis of the Mirror, a number of the players spoke to Sky Sports throughout the tour.

Final goalscorer Mertesacker began the proceedings, saying: "It's not the best weather, but we're really looking forward to it."

The German international also stated that Arsenal's aim was to build on their success next season: "First of all we're going to celebrate properly and then hopefully we can build on it next season."

Mertesacker found time to lead celebrations with the fans as well:

The tour began at the Emirates Stadium shortly after 11 a.m. Delighted fans lined the streets to cheer the bus on.

Walcott was up next to speak, and he confirmed that a title challenge is the next step for the Gunners team.

Per Mewis, he said: "I can't thank the fans enough. It's been a step up this year. We want more and more. Each player's got to trust in each other now. The title is the ultimate goal and the fans have been waiting a long time."

The bus embarked from the stadium down Drayton Park, before turning onto Aubert Park and then down Highbury Grove, ending at Islington Town Hall before making the journey back to the Emirates.

The bus read "1 Arsenal, 12 Victories, No Equals." The cup win makes Arsenal the record holders of the trophy ahead of Manchester United with 11.

Arsene Wenger's men were visibly delighted with their triumph. Just look at Santi Cazorla and Giroud:

Aaron Ramsey almost made one fan's day with this excellent effort with a scarf, but for once, the Welshman could not hit the target:

Kieran Gibbs and Hector Bellerin led the way as a number of the players enjoyed selfies with the trophy and with the crowd:

Mesut Ozil and Calum Chambers were just two of the players who took to Twitter throughout the tour, thanking the fans for the excellent turnout.

It's set to be an exciting summer for Arsenal fans as the Gunners seek to strengthen ahead of what they hope will be a push for the title next season.

In winning the cup for the second season running, Arsenal have shown they can handle pressure in big games and are a match for anyone on their day.

With the right investment in the summer, chiefly a striker to add depth in forward positions and more solidity at the back, Arsenal could well be enjoying another victory parade next year.
