Coffin Parade

On the rare occassions when Blackburn Rovers for Preston North End football clubs get promoted or relegated, a giant doll is exhumed from a pub cellar and pararded around the Lancashire town of Bamber Bridge is celebration (or sadness...). The event first took place in the 1950s. This is Blackburn Rovers' big day in 2001. Also included are other football-related photographs.
