This was a great event and gave the children a chance to show the strength of support for the club from the youngsters. The parade featured boys and girls aged 8-16 and illustrated the wide appeal of the Tigers courses.

It was great seeing such a great turn-out for the parade more than 260 children marching around the hallowed turf at Welford Road.
