Pete Sixsmith brings us Wembley Way – three hours before kick off

NB WE ARE ADDING YOUR PHOTOS IN COMMENTS BELOW AS THEY COME IN – CLICK TO ENLARGE – AND JOHN MCCORMICK HAS CREATED THE VIDEO SLIDESHOW

All of us who were there will have memories to last the rest of our lives. Send your own best photos to us – by clicking here – and we’ll find a way of publishing the best of them.

But first of all, read Pete Sixsmith‘s Wembley piece if you haven’t already. This is the link and this is an extract:

It’s a sea of red and white and a sea of blue white, two of the biggest clubs in the land, and it really could be the FA Cup final. It’s a pulsating game, one that draws you in and test your nerves, no matter how much you’d vowed just to enjoy the occasion. It matters’

Now send is your photos. Just a couple would suffice. There might even be a prize in it …
