HUNDREDS of Grimsby Town fans turned Trafalgar Square black and white ahead of tomorrow's FA Trophy final clash with Wrexham.
Around 300 Supporters braved the snow to assemble for a photograph underneath Nelson's Column.
Led by mascot Mighty Mariner, the fans, who included club director John Fenty, treated bemused tourists to a rendition of terrace chants.
Six members of the Walker family are making their fourth visit to watch Grimsby Town at Wembley.
Tony, his wife Paula, sons Scott and Brad, and parents Bill and Nora, joined hundreds of fellow Mariners as they descended on Trafalgar Square this afternoon.
Fans are predicting a tight, tense, encounter in tomorrow's final. Brad Walker, 18, of Cherry Tree Crescent, Grimsby, correctly predicted Town's 1-0 playoff victory to the Grimsby Telegraph in 1998. And he believes the Mariners will emerge victorious again tomorrow. He said: "It's going to be 2-1 to Town. Andy Cook will score in the first half, Wrexham will equalise in the 70th minute and captain fantastic Craig Disley will score in the last five minutes."
And Tony said the sight of Town fans turning the famous square black and white brought a lump to his throat.
Tony, 47, of Cherry Tree Crescent, Grimsby, said: "It's fantastic. We have been here four times in 15 years and a club like Swansea have only been to Wembley once. It's a great thing for a small club like us."

Season ticket holder Gavin West, 46, of Barnsley, said: "If we hasn't lost four games on the bounce I would be quite confident, but I think Ross Hannah will come good tomorrow."
Simon West, of Grimoldby, said: "If you think it was good here today just wait until tomorrow.
"We are getting used to it. It's just great for a small town club that we have got this support."
Alex Nettleton, 17, of Wybers Wood, Grimsby, said: "It's been brilliant. When I go to the home games the atmosphere is good but it's nothing like this. It's a true testament to to the club and its supporters."
