Rival football fans came together as they showed their support for two brave youngsters by taking part in a charity match.

Funds were raised for cancer-battling children Bradley Lowery and Frankie Sherwood in the game, held at Silksworth Sports Complex in Sunderland.

Both Bradley, five, from Blackhall, and Frankie, three, from North Tyneside, are fighting neuroblastoma.
