One very special Red at Wembley
But as well as the heir to the throne, another very special guest will be watching from the Royal Box, a remarkable United fan who has lived through 11 of our 12 FA Cup triumphs and much more besides.
Dr James Burt, from Bury, turns 102 this month, and has lived an incredible life worthy of a boy's-own story.
Dr James Burt will be watching from the Royal Box this weekend.He is the oldest-surviving RAF doctor and was a medical officer at RAF Waddington and RAF Scampton from 1946-48, looking after Bomber Command and the Dambusters 617 Squadron.
Last year, a special tea party was held to mark the 80th anniversary of the Dambusters’ raids, where Dr Burt met King Charles III.
