Barkley makes 3-year-old’s birthday special with surprise parade moment

Follow along here for USA TODAY’s live coverage from the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade.

It’s a Valentine’s Day to celebrate in the City of Brotherly Love. The Philadelphia Eagles spent Friday enjoying their parade after winning Super Bowl 59 on Sunday.

Key figures in the Eagles’ championship run like quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley and edge rusher Josh Sweat were all part of the parade. Even longtime Eagles icon Jason Kelce came out to celebrate the team’s second Super Bowl title in the last decade.

Thousands of fans lined the streets of Philadelphia to see the champions and one of the younger fans in attendance had a wonderful suprise.

Lucy Bannon celebrated her third birthday Friday with her grandmother, Tracy, by standing on Broad Street with a sign reading ‘Today is my 3rd Birthday! Go Birds!’ at the parade.

Barkley spotted the sign and stopped to take photos with Bannon.

Barkley asked Tracy if he could pick the birthday girl up, Bannon’s father Charlie told the Philadelphia Inquirer, and took time for photos with her and the sign.

Barkley himself celebrated a birthday this week as well. The NFL Offensive Player of the Year turned 28 years old on Sunday and celebrated with his first Super Bowl title.
