Busby Babes mindet i München

Mens mindehøjtideligheden på Old Trafford er blevet større og større, så er Manchesterplatz i München også blevet et sted, hvor Manchester United-fans valfarter til den 6. februar.

På ulykkestedet var der i dag en større mindehøjtidelighed, hvor over 1.000 Manchester United-fans var mødt op.

Klubben var officielt repræsenteret af klubambassadøren Bryan Robson, mens Manchesters borgmester Andy Burnham og FC Bayern Münchens ledelse også var tilstede.

Heart-warming scenes today. Made it to the 65th Anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster at Manchesterplatz in Munich. Couldn't have been a better day to visit the memorial. 🤍💐#FlowersOfManchester #MUFC #BusbyBabes pic.twitter.com/go4MswA1h2
