Local pensioners enjoy Christmas lunches at Anfield

Over 700 locals headed to the stadium across the week to enjoy a three-course Christmas dinner and a festive sing-along with friends and family.

Club chaplain Bill Bygroves and Hillsborough Family Support Group chair Margaret Aspinall joined a group of LFC employee volunteers to meet and greet the pensioners and lend a hand with serving the meals.

Pupils from three local primary schools – Anfield Road, New Park and Four Oaks – were also in attendance to provide a musical background of Christmas songs while the locals enjoyed their dinner.

Liverpool legend Phil Neal joined in on the final day of festivities too - meeting the pensioners, posing for photos and talking football with some life-long Reds fans.
