The blue side of Manchester were all euphoric as the team and fans also celebrated becoming only the second English club to win the treble, equalling the 1999 milestone of their fierce rivals Manchester United.
"What a parade, what an afternoon, it had to be the best parade with this rain, otherwise is not Manchester.
We don't want sunshine," said Premier League manager of the year Guardiola in front of thousands of fans.
As the players left the stage, the celebrations seemed far from over for the City fans who were ready to party on long into the night.
