Anniversary celebrations in pictures

Newcastle United celebrated is 125th anniversary on Saturday, with extra special touches around the whole city to mark the event.

The date marked the exact formation of the present-day club back in 1892, when Newcastle East End absorbed the assets of rivals West End to become one stronger, unified club, and St. James' Park was a sea of black and white, with flags around the stadium.

The club crest and colours were projected onto prominent sites around Newcastle while the club's Greatest XI was unveiled on screens around the stadium.

Chris Booth, Raoul Dixon, Craig Connor and club photographer Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery.

Black and white flags were placed on each seat by a team of volunteers
