Poppy Atkinson: Minute’s silence held in Cumbria and across UK
A number of county associations, including Essex County Girls Football League, Sussex County FA and Notts County FA, are also backing the campaign and are encouraging their members to observe a minute’s silence.
Poppy’s family say she wanted to be a professional footballer, and messages of condolence have been sent from some of the Lionnesses, including Barrow’s Georgia Stanway, and Manchester United football club.
At the time, police said there was “no indication to suggest that this incident was a deliberate act”.
An eight-year-old girl, also from Kendal, was taken to hospital for treatment following the incident, but her injuries were not life-threatening.
