How Sir Bobby will be celebrated on Sunday
The life of Sir Bobby Charlton will be celebrated at Old Trafford on Sunday, with a series of tributes before the 191st Manchester derby between United and City.
The East Stand window will be dressed with banners remembering the club icon, and the centre circle will be covered with a commemorative banner before kick-off.
As the respective teams walk out of the tunnel, fans in the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand will be asked to raise pieces of paper above their heads to build a giant mosaic.
The paper will be recycled after the match and supporters are asked to leave it under their seats at full-time, if they do not wish to take it home as a memento.
At the same time as the mosaic, a giant surfer banner will be unfurled across the Stretford End.
The banners are being created by fans’ group Stretford End Flags and you can see them in production via the video above.
The players will wear black armbands and there will be a minute's applause ahead of kick-off, with stadium announcer Alan Keegan announcing the start and end.
Former players of United and City will be present on the pitch for the minute's applause.
