The family of football legend Sir Bobby Robson has visited the shrine created by fans at Newcastle United's stadium.
His widow Lady Elsie Robson paused to read messages left among the tributes to the former England, Ipswich and Newcastle manager at St James' Park.
Onlookers broke into applause as she arrived with sons Andrew, 50, and Paul, 52, and family friends.
County Durham-born Sir Bobby died on Friday at the age of 76 following a long battle against cancer.
Lady Robson is said to have been "overwhelmed" by the show of affection for her husband since his death.
A spokeswoman for the family said: "There must have been thousands of people here and she is very grateful to everybody who has made extremely generous donations to his charity." |
