Coventry’s famous landmarks will shine in the team’s traditional blue hue to commemorate the club’s return to the top division after winning the second-tier league. Coventry City secured promotion by beating Portsmouth 5-1 at their home stadium earlier this week (April 21). Various prominent sites, such as the Whittle Arch and Broadgate, will feature the blue lighting in the coming days.
