WHAT HAPPENED?

Ratcliffe, who grew up in north Manchester supporting United, was five years old when the aircraft carrying the team back from a European Cup tie in Belgrade crashed on the runway in Munich, where it had stopped to refuel. Twenty three people died in the crash, including eight United players and three members of staff. Sir Matt Busby and Sir Bobby Charlton were among the survivors and 10 years later led United to win the European Cup in 1968, becoming the first English club to do so.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The fan-led service at Old Trafford began at 2:30pm local time with former club chaplain Rev John Boyers acting as Master of Ceremonies. The ceremony will feature readings and songs performed by the United fans.
