As part of the NFL International Series, the Oakland Raiders have been spreading the word about their upcoming encounter with the Miami Dolphins.
The Raiderettes – the Oakland Raiders’ cheerleaders – familiarised themselves with London by visiting Regent Street and the iconic Abbey Road zebra crossing, made famous by The Beatles.
Brittany, Chanel, Emeka, Ricard, Erica and Michelle Raiderettes from the Oakland Raiders and NFL players on London’s Regent Street in anticipation of the NFL on Regent Street event, which will be taking place this Saturday.
The cheerleaders were promoting their visit to Regent Street this coming Saturday, which turns one of London’s most famous landmarks into an all-day NFL fan festival.
The event, which is a curtain-raiser to the first of this year’s three NFL International Series games the following day, will run from 11am to 5pm, with a range of activities including on-stage appearances and interviews with star players and head coaches from the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders, and live music and entertainment.
Five of The Raiderettes also visited the Kingston Tesco Extra in Milton Keynes, where they performed and signed autographs for shoppers.

Along with Raiders players Marcel Reece, Kevin Boothe, Justin Tuck, Khalil Mack, Usama Young and Darren McFadden, The Raiderettes also took part in a community day at Surrey Sports Park.
The football players taught youngsters a range of American football skills and gave them coaching tips.
The event was held as part of the NFL’s Play 60 campaign, which aims to encourage children to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.
Surrey Sports Park’s chief executive Paul Blanchard said: “We are delighted to have hosted the Oakland Raiders today as they prepare for their match against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday.
“It was great to see so many of the kids enjoying American football and being inspired by all the players.
“Events like this community day show how the NFL’s popularity is increasing year on year in this country and we’re proud to be supporting the sport.”
