Today we raise the coffin.
I know it seems a bit weird but it's a local tradition.
Whenever Blackburn Rovers or Preston North End are promoted or demoted a coffin in the appropriate livery is paraded through the village and "buried" in a local club cellar.
The road is closed off and there will be floats, music, food and maybe a pint or two.
