Nearly 150 people were injured at Liverpool’s Premier League title parade which were unconnected to the incident on Water Street.
The figures were revealed in an independent report commissioned to review Liverpool City Council’s planning around last May’s city-wide celebrations.
Findings published on Friday (March 6) showed that 146 people required treatment during the course of the Bank Holiday Monday event with most of them for burns.
More than 1.2 million people decended on the city to mark the Anfield club’s record-equalling 20th league title which was secured a month before the public festivities.
The parade coincided with BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend being held in Liverpool and the arrival of Cunard’s Queen Anne ship for the cruise liner’s 185th anniversary.
Safety expert Eric Stuart advised council bosses in his report that future major events may be better held in isolation due to the sheer crowd size in the city.
He also recommended media ‘not live-stream dangerous behaviours – the use of flares or scaffold-climbing – in a way that celebrates poor behaviour or encourages others to follow suit’.
Birkenhead MP and minister Alison McGovern said that the government would provide an appropriate response to the recommendations made in the report.
She said: “Safety is incredibly important and I will read the city council’s report in detail, and it deserves a proper response.
“Those parades are an opportunity where families and people of all ages get to be together and celebrate their heroes.
“And so that safety aspect of it has to be absolutely right, because those days are ones we remember for the rest of our lives.”
