Albion fans turned out in force at Wembley on a landmark occasion for the club.
And they did themselves proud at the Adobe WFA Cup final against Manchester City.
There was plenty of blue and white on trains heading to the capital on Sunday morning and a fleet of coaches also headed to north west London.

While there is no exact figure for the Albion support, it was several thousand, most of them behind the east goal but with blue and white stripes also dotted around the stadium in ‘neutral’ areas.
As the teams walked out, supporters unfurled a huge banner in honour of Rado Vidosic, father of head coach Dario, who worked for the club and died of cancer earlier this year.
Songs could be heard loud and clear throughout the game – and a buzz of expectation grew as the Seagulls stitched together some attractive moves in the first half-hour.
Later, with the contest settled and City heading for a league and cup double, the encouragement continued.
Those supporters behind the City goal were desperate to at least see their side get on the scoresheet right in front of them.

But those hopes ended when a Madison Haley header from a corner drifted narrowly wide.
At the end, Albion’s exhausted and dejected players walked slowly to that end of the stadium and received a rousing ovation from their supporters.
That spread around the stadium as they went up to receive their runners-up medals.
The hope now will be that the event can be the forerunner to future such big occasions.
And that it will help grow support ahead of the team’s expected move to a 10,000-capacity stadium next to the Amex in time for the 2030-31 season.
