Summer finally arrived to welcome one of Wembley's great annual sporting spectacles, the rugby league Carnegie Challenge Cup final.
In keeping with tradition fans of many different clubs converged to rub shoulders and celebrate their beloved sport and see St Helens win with a 28-16 victory over Hull in sweltering conditions on Saturday afternoon (30).
Saints became only the second team in the tournament's 111-year history to win the trophy three times in a row, launching a strong fightback to score 18 points in the last 15 minutes to overcome a spirited Hull side in front of 82,821 people.
Harrow had been a riot of rugby shirts on Friday and Saturday as fans arrived to get in the party mood for their special weekend.
Saints full-back Paul Wellens was named man of the match and picked up the Lance Todd Trophy for his great display in defence and attack.
