Rugby star and Motor Neurone Disease advocate Rob Burrow died on June 2, sadly leaving behind his wife and kids.
Since the heartbreaking loss of Rob, fans, celebrities and friends have paid tribute to the Leeds Rhinos player.
Now, Rob’s wife, Lindsey, has been seen visiting a heartwrenching display of flowers, helmed by an outpouring of support from fans.
It was here that Rob’s five-year-old son asked a heartbreaking question.
Rob Burrow’s wife and kids attend tribute
Rob’s son, Jackson, and his siblings were seen attending the gathering of well-wishers at Headingley stadium. The venue was the ideal setting, being the home pitch to Rob’s Leeds Rhinos. Onlookers watched on as Rob’s children laid flowers.
They were accompanied by a teary-eyed Lindsey. Evidently, Lindsey looked emotional as Jackson posed a question. Jackson could be heard asking in wonder as he looked at the flowers: “Are these all for Daddy?”
Lindsey could then be seen struggling to hold back tears as she looked over the countless bouquets of flower, hand-written messages and scarves spread out by fans.
Are these all for Daddy?
The messages included poignant words including ‘inspiration’, ‘legend’ and ‘hero’.
Sports fans haven’t been the only ones leading the tributes, in fact royalty and showbiz stars have been showing their support too.
Sally Nugent lead the discussion of Rob’s legacy over on BBC Breakfast this week, whilst Ant and Dec halted Britain’s Got Talent for a special message about the death of Rob Burrow.
