Terminally-ill Bradley Lowery has led his beloved Sunderland team out as a mascot for the Black Cats' final home game in the Premier League.

The five-year-old from Blackhall, County Durham, is fighting neuroblastoma and was carried onto the pitch by his hero Jermain Defoe.

Proceeds from the match day programme, which has Bradley on its cover, will be donated to a fund in aid of his family.

Chants of "there's only one Bradley Lowery" echoed around the stadium.

Rapturous applause welcomed the Sunderland fan who wore a shirt that read "Thank you SAFC and fans".
