LIVERPOOL'S European Cup heroes are to be toasted for their success at a House of Commons party.
The team will be the guests of honour at a reception at the Speaker's apartments on December 5.
No sporting club has before been toasted in the spectacular Speaker's House.
The English World Cup-winning rugby team was invited, but no date was fixed.
Manchester United, Liverpool's greatest rivals, were not awarded the honour, despite claiming the coveted Treble in 1999.
A spokesman for the Speaker, Michael Martin, told the ECHO: "The Speaker is very keen to invite people from different areas of the United Kingdom.
"This is an opportunity to recognise a club that has achieved something of national importance."
