Congratulations to Luton Town FC on their BIG sporting win in the Skrill Premier Division and promotion back to the football league.
There was a great atmosphere in Luton town centre today as an estimated 12,000 Lutonians headed to St George's Square for the Hatters' Victory Parade.

In the midst of the crowd - can you spot me? |
Now that Luton Town are back in the football league they'll be playing games against my other hometown team - Oxford United. Hopefully things continue to improve for both teams and its not like the 2000-01 season of the second division (the year I moved to Luton) when both teams were relegated to Division Three!
