Ipswich Town fans clap in memory of baby girl

Ipswich Town fans have taken part in a round of applause in memory of a baby girl who died.

Lilly Ann Allen was just 10 weeks old when she died earlier this month, the club said.

Fans were asked to applaud during the 10th minute of Saturday's draw against Barnsley at Portman Road.

In a tweet during the match, the club said: "Portman Road rises to its feet to remember Lilly Ann Allen. Once a Blue, always a Blue."

Opponents Barnsley also posted on social media during the game and said: "Sleep well, Lilly Ann Allen... An outstanding moment of applause here."

Team captain Sam Morsy had backed the campaign on social media and said it "would be amazing to get as many people involved in this".

In a post shared on behalf of the girl's family, it said she was born on 25 May and died on 7 August.

It said though she had never been to see the club play, she had worn her Ipswich Town kit supporting the team with her family.

A tribute to Lilly was published in the matchday programme.
