An 11-year-old girl had a 'day she will never forget' after she was selected to be a mascot at the FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea.
Victoria Connolly, 44, entered her daughter Ruby, 11, into a competition to be a mascot about a month before the game. The two were overcome with excitement when they were contacted to say Ruby was one of 12 winners.
