Introduction

I have been wondering how to commemorate this as an adopted Novocastrian. I keep seeing the pictures and videos and can still hardly believe that three hundred thousand fans turned out to congratulate Eddie Howe and the team on Saturday 29th of March 2025.

I have written this villanelle as my celebration, but check out the video and pictures on social media. This is the parade:

As far as I am concerned Lindisfarne's "Fog On Th eTyne" is THE Geordie anthem.
