The sons of PC Matthew Blades led Manchester United onto the pitch at Old Trafford as mascots before the club’s Premier League match against Ipswich on Sunday.
The appearance took place ahead of the fixture at Manchester United’s home ground, with the children joining the team for the traditional pre-match walkout.
PC Blades was an officer who died in a crash on the A66. His sons’ role as mascots provided a public moment of recognition at one of English football’s most prominent venues.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about the circumstances of the crash, the identities or ages of the children, or any statements from the club, police or family.
The latest known development is that the boys took part in the pre-match ceremony for Sunday’s Premier League game between Manchester United and Ipswich at Old Trafford.
