It has been a long and emotional goodbye to one home of football in the East Midlands.

Premiership matches have ended and the last competitive game - an exhibition match between the current team and some notable old boys - has brought the curtain down at Filbert Street, home to Leicester City.

More than 100 former City favourites are returning for a series of old boys' games.

And the Mercury has paid its own-tribute, with a three-part Farewell to Filbert Street supplement given away with the main paper.

Filbert Street has been home to City for 111 years but they are due to move to the nearby Walkers Stadium for next season, which they kick-off from the Nationwide League.

Part one comprised a 20-page pull-out looking at the history of the old stadium.

Part two, with more historic pictures and features, was available the following week.

And there was a 12-page Final Whistle supplement in the last Sport on Monday for the season, dedicated the Filbert Street's last-ever competitive game, against Spurs last weekend.
