Paddy McGuinness, Adam Thomas and more celebs to take on ex-pros in football match to mark Arena bomb anniversary

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.
