Fans lead Munich Air Disaster memorial events

Friday marked the 68th anniversary of the tragedy that claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight Manchester United players and three officials.

Forever in our hearts and minds, the Munich Air Disaster is deep rooted in the club's identity and it has become a proud tradition for supporters to attend memorial services, both at Old Trafford and Manchesterplatz, the site of the crash.

Both memorial events are available to watch in full below.

Friday's event in M16 was led by Reverend John Boyers and, despite the rain, hundreds of Reds were in attendance. It included powerful readings from journalist Andy Mitten, Foundation participants and representatives from our Under-13 Academy sides.
