There were 4,330 PNE fans in the away end, while although down on previous derby visits, was still a strong following.
Unfortunately they didn't have much to cheer as Blackburn edged it 1-0, Ben Brereton Diaz scoring the winner in the 53rd minute.
Here are a selection of photos from the Darwen End. Did our photographers spot you?
