LEIGH Leopards fans all over the world have had their eyes on Wembley today for the glorious Betfred Rugby League Challenge Cup Final 17-16 win against Hull Kingston Rovers.
Hopefully the last person out of Leigh turned off the lights this morning as the town got behind its heroes playing in their first Challenge Cup Final for 52 years.
In our gallery above, you will find pictures of fans making their way to London, arriving at Wembley, celebrating the success or dressing up in their colours to enjoy the event from afar on one of the biggest occasions in the club's history.
We'll be updating this gallery throughout the day, so keep checking back to see more pictures.
This gallery will provide a keepsake souvenir for all fans of the day the Leigh Leopards breed of 2023 made our town very proud.
You can send your pictures for this gallery too. Leave your picture on one of the relevant posts on the Leigh Journal Facebook page, Tweet to @leighjournal or email mike.parsons@nqnw.co.uk.
A member of our armed services in Germany is backing Leigh all the way today:
This is one sent in by Gavin Heaton on the journey to London this morning, and there's lots more in the gallery above.
