Sunderland supporters have painted the capital a shade of red after taking London's famous Trafalgar Square as their own on the eve of the League One play-off final.
Thousands of dedicated fans have made the 270-mile trip from Wearside to the Big Smoke, in preparation for Sunday's showpiece final against Charlton Athletic.
Both clubs will go head to head for a place in the Championship, and the party atmosphere reached fever pitch on Saturday evening as fans of the north east club made the most of bank holiday.
