With sadness, respect and overwhelming warmth the world of football and beyond united in tribute to Sir Bobby Robson on Friday after the former England manager lost his battle against cancer.
Robson's death, aged 76 after a long battle with the disease, drew tributes from Prince William and the Prime Minister, saw flags lowered to half-mast at St James' Park, Portman Road and Wembley, and touched people from his native North East to Barcelona.
The Football Association will mark his passing with a minute's silence at the Community Shield next weekend, in which Manchester United and Chelsea will wear black armbands, as will Football League clubs and the England team when they meet Holland on Aug 12.
From every one at WKD we would like to pay respect to Sir Bobby.
WKD are supporting Kick for Children with Cancer, a football fundraising campaign run by the UK’s leading children’s cancer charity, CLIC Sargent.
