This was the moving moment more than 8,000 football fans paid tribute to tragic youngster Jay Cartmell.

Supporters at Carlisle United's home game against Harrogate Town broke into applause on the eight-minute mark.

It was a tribute to the eight-year-old west Cumbrian boy who tragically died last month.

It was the latest Cumbrian football tribute to Jay, who died in a firearm incident near Warcop on September 28.

Junior and senior grassroots teams across the county have held their own tributes.

His young team-mates from Whitehaven Miners Social attended the Carlisle game, which finished in a 1-1 draw.
