Over 100 invited guests were in attendance plus the man himself as the Galleria was renamed the Sir Bobby Robson Suite on Monday.

The former Town and England boss opened the hospitality facility at Portman Road, which has been named in his honour as a tribute to his 13 years as manager of the Club between 1969 and 1982.

"It is a fantastic honour and another proud day for me at such a wonderful football club," said Sir Bobby.

The Town legend also enjoyed a journey down memory lane as he and his 1978 FA Cup winning side enjoyed a reunion of that Wembley success with an open top bus journey through the streets of Ipswich, with 4000 fans cheering them on.
