Young West Ham fan Brooke Lawrance fulfilled a lifelong dream on Saturday when she led the Hammers out before their game against Stoke at the London stadium.
The 10-year-old suffers from Cerebral palsy - a neurological condition that weakens the muscles, affecting movement and co-ordination - and was told she would never be able to walk.
However a campaign led by her parents, Sarah and Pete from Ipswich, helped to raise £75,000 which gave Brooke the chance to travel to America to receive pioneering surgery.

Although she requires regular physiotherapy and visits a specialist in Scotland, the young Hammer has made impressive progress and now uses specially adapted sticks to build up her core muscles.
