Londoners are sporting their favourite jerseys on Thursday to honour the 16 victims of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy.

It's being pegged "Jersey Day" and many are using the hashtag #jerseysforhumboldt.

Last Friday, the bus carrying members of the hockey team to a playoff game collided with a transport truck near Tisdale, Sask.

The incident has triggered national commemoration. Here's how people in the London area are honouring the victims.
