Liverpool banner for Blackpool boy killed by lightning to be donated

A banner displayed at Liverpool's stadium which honoured a fan who died in a lightning strike will be donated to his club, its creator has said.

Peter Carney, who has made hundreds of Liverpool banners, said he was moved to create one for Blackpool's Jordan Banks after hearing about his death.

The 62-year-old from Kirkby said he made it to "offer support and comfort" to Jordan family and friends.

The nine-year-old's club Clifton Rangers JFC declined to comment.

Jordan died shortly after being struck by a lightning strike as he took part in a coaching session on playing fields at Common Edge Road in Blackpool on 11 May.
