England and Arsenal footballer Beth Mead has thanked those closest to her, as well as the wider footballing world, for their support following the passing of her mum.
The 27-year-old shared the heartbreaking update on social media last week and confirmed her mum, June, had died on January 7 following a battle with ovarian cancer. Messages of support quickly followed, including a touching tribute from the men's team, who shared a photo on social media of the squad in their dressing room with a shirt that read 'Thinking of you Beth'.
Mead shared a further message on social media on Tuesday, saying: "I just want to take a minute to thank family, friends and the footballing world for the love & support since the passing of my mum. It means the world to me and my family during this difficult time. Much love."
