second half. merseyside police issued a statement that some of the officers were deployed in france, they say the vast majority of fans behaved in an exemplary manner, arriving early and following the rules. liverpool football club, merseyside police demanding answers as is the mayor of liverpool but most of the supporters i spoke to said they want answers, andy robinson talked about an inquiry but they do not want it to overshadow what is happening tonight, and if fans wondering what they are celebrating, jurgen klopp said it was a disappointing end to the season but not a disappointing season, a double is something they want to celebrate and thousands of people have turned up on the strand, we have been waiting a while here but we are told in the next 20 minutes that open top bus you'd finally be arriving here, the women also are celebrating their championship title and promotion to the women's super league. the songs continue to be sung, we have had

drums as well, they'll waiting patiently and hopefully in the next 20 or so minutes they will catch sight ofjurgen klopp and the and women's players on those top buses. —— men's and women's players. to wembley next, where nottingham forest will be playing premier league football after beating huddersfield 1—0 at wembley. adam wild is there for us, the game has literallyjust finished. what a huge moment for forest. yes, 1999 was the year that forest were relegated from the premier league, 23 long years they are fans have had to suffer, but they are now back at premier league. i whole generation of forest fans hadn't seen their team play in the premier league this century. but it is they who go through, beating huddersfield town by a goal to nil, it camejust

before half—time, the bulk whipped into the huddersfield box, it looked to have come off ryan yates but it will go down as a levi colwell own goal, scrappy and not pretty but it is the one that nottingham forest fans will remember for is the one that nottingham forest fans will rememberfor a is the one that nottingham forest fans will remember for a very long time. it signals their exile... the end of their exile from england's football's top table. they are back and will play in the premier league next season. and will play in the premier league next season-— next season. really exciting for catlike forest _ next season. really exciting for catlike forest fans. _ next season. really exciting for catlike forest fans. what - next season. really exciting for catlike forest fans. what can i next season. really exciting for| catlike forest fans. what can we expect to see from forest next season? �* , ., expect to see from forest next season? �* , . ., season? all the planning and ”lottin season? all the planning and plotting for— season? all the planning and plotting for premier - season? all the planning and plotting for premier league, | season? all the planning and - plotting for premier league, that will wait, for now it is just celebration, remember they hadn't played at the new wembley before today, it is 30 years since they were last here, brian clough was the manager, a very long you follow

years for the club. 42 years, 43 years for the club. 42 years, 43 years almost to the day since they were european champions, it is a story to think they have been out for so long. they are now back in the premier league. and of course much of the build—up dominated by the talk of the money, £170 million, the talk of the money, £170 million, the estimated value of the promotion to the premier league. that cash will be spent no doubt and if they can start thinking about that and they have sealed their promotion. a word on huddersfield, absolute heartbreak for them, they came so close but have come away from their season with nothing, they go back and play in the championship next season. but the party for nottingham forest about to begin. this year's monaco grand prix really had it all — heavy rain, strategy errors, big crashes. red bull's sergio perez got the win but it was frustration for ferarri's charles leclerc who was unable to win his home race. joe lynsky has more.

for charles leclerc, this was the chance of his life. he would start on pole for a race through the straights. but he grew up on. what one thing could stop him. torrential rain in monaco delayed this grand prix. then brought decisions. leclerc�*s ferrari team changed their mind about his tyres. two pit stops near the start saw leclerc lose his as lead, but down the field were bigger problems. this was a risk that came with the rain. fortunately, mick schumacher could walk off the track. the rest waited for safety. at the restart, lewis hamilton was stuck in eighth, just where he started. while at the front, sergio perez had the lead. but it was so close. through the narrow streets, perry has just held on. he wins the monaco grand prix! leclerc had missed out and this extraordinary race had a winner

not from monaco, but mexico. joe lynskey, bbc news. the record—breaking jockey lester piggott, who won the derby nine times, has died at the age of 86. in all, he recorded almost 4,500 winners in a career that started in 1948, when he was 12 years old. he was admitted to hospital in switzerland, where he lived, last week. he was jailed for three years in 1987 for tax fraud but returned to racing after his release. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss reports. lester has it in the bag! when it came to the art of winning, few could match lester piggott. his statistics are staggering. nearly 5,000 victories across a career spanning almost half a century. he rode his first winner back in 1948 at the age ofjust 12. it was a feat that made the headlines, and plenty more would follow. in 1954, while still a teenager,

he won the derby, the first of a record nine victories in the race. the youngest jockey to win the derby in modern times. but for all the adulation, piggott remained a shy, softly spoken man. how hard do you have to work, in fact? well, it's pretty hard work. you know, all day long, i and at night sometimes. at five foot eight, he was tall for a jockey, hence his nickname the long fellow. but his much imitated style in the saddle earned him the championjockey�*s title some 11 times. the success, though, was followed by scandal. good evening. the headlines at six o'clock... lester piggott has been sent to jail for three years. - in 1987 piggott was jailed for tax evasion and stripped of his 0be, and while he made a comeback to some success in 1995 at the age of 59, he finally retired from the saddle. despite his personal controversy, his sporting ability beyond dispute. one of the greatestjockeys that

racing has ever seen. the champion jockey lester piggott who's died at the age of 86. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. bbc�*s grandstand theme plays

on your marks...get set...go! can you believe that it's exactly ten years since this site was just getting ready to host the 2012 olympic games? it feels like it was yesterday, but this 0lympic stadium was alive with the roars of the crowd, cheering on the athletes. time flies. and when you plan a site like this — indeed, when you spend all of that money — it's important to plan a legacy — how the place can be put to good use once the games have finished. and the park is still thriving with football, swimming, cycling and generallyjust being a nice place to come. and in a weird way, the same is true for olympic athletes who only usually get to compete at that level for the first part of their careers. takejessica ennis—hill, who gave us so many great moments — even winning gold in the 2012 heptathlon. yeah, and, infact, she ran the entire distance that we've just walked in 12.5 seconds while jumping over stuff.

and her career still took more twists and turns after that with injuries, a remarkable return after her pregnancy to win at the world championships and then, taking silver in brazil. and since retiring from competitive sport, she, like the whole park, is looking to the next thing. now, it's still connected to sport, as you'd expect, and it's also connected to women's health — specifically menstruation. periods aren't something that's always openly talked about and discussed even less in relation to exercise, butjessica's new app hopes to help women work out better around their cycle, so shiona mccallum's been to meet her to find out more. training hard in the gym, building strength and getting a sweat on. but what if you're on your period? 0ne occasion, i was at the junior european championships and i rememberjust running that 800 metres, thinking, "i'm trying to run for a gold medal here,

"but i'm also very aware that i've just started my period."
