A charity football match that will see former professionals take on celebrities is taking place next month to mark the fifth anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing.
Named Manchester Remembers, the event on April 3 is being organised by former police officer, Aaron Lee, who was one of the first on the scene during the attack in 2017.
He worked with the victims’ families in the aftermath of the tragedy - and has shown continued support in his fundraising efforts, helping to raise £44,000 for the charities that were set up in memory of the 22 victims.

Aaron, who is now a firefighter, alongside his friend Paul Corrigan, a local business owner, wanted to do something extra special to commemorate the anniversary and felt a football match was fitting.
“I’ve always played football, I’m a Manchester United fan, so we thought a Manchester-themed Soccer Aid; it grew from there,” the 36-year-old explained.
“We’re very much a footballing city. As soon as I put it out there, the uptake was massive.”
Some of the players signed up to take part include Jason Manford, Paddy McGuiness, Adam Thomas, Clayton Blackmore, Trevor Sinclair, Wes Brown, and Paul Merson.
The footballing legends team will be managed by Sam Allardyce, and
